Make your last journey

from this strange world

soar for the heights

where there is no more

separation of you and your home

God has created

your wings not to be dormant

as long as you are alive

you must try more and more

to use your wings to show you're alive

his imprisonment, he has no choice.

You left ground and sky weeping,
mind and soul full of grief.

No one can take your place in existence,
or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets,
and this sadness I feel has taken from me
the taste of language, so that I cannot say
the flavor of my being apart.

I went inside my heart
to see how it was.
Something there makes me hear
the whole world weeping.
