The Preservation

2 min readJul 11, 2026

A beauty one can only experience once.
Some are fear, some welcome.
An eternal rest,
transforming the soul into a new energy.
All tension is gone,
the body calming, readying to let go.
To be given back to creation.
Floating through the wind,
into the sun.
Carried back amongst the stars.
There is sorrow, sadness and grief.
There is happiness, reminiscence and memories.
Where all flow together, as one.
No more pain, no more suffering,

A picture sitting quietly in a frame,
on a wall of time.
Forever watching,
forever waiting,
living on only through memory.
Free as the winds blowing through the valleys.
As the water crashing through the rivers and into the oceans.
Free as the sun, warming the earth left behind.
Traveling the galaxies, unbound.
Witnessing the unimaginable, the unbelievable, the untouchable,
metamorphizing into new.
Like light sailing through darkness,
finding the way back home.
An unrecognized act of awe.
