Fear of Death

from Echo Mill by Cole Sullivan

lyrics

As a child,
Fear of death consumed me.
A sharp sense
Of inevitable fate.
A friend of books
Whose pages would entice me
To escape
From the horrors I'd conceive.

I'd stay up all night
And wonder what it's like
To not exist at all.

In my divine ignorance
Built on images and text,
All I knew I'd learned
From Calvin and Hobbes.

Never told
To believe in After-life,
I was sure
We'd all completely disappear.
Feel them stretch,
The hairs on my skin
Rising at the thought
Of pure emptiness.

Like an Agnostic
Dyslexic
Insomniac
I would lie awake
And wonder if there's really a Dog.

Now
I have experience
Practicing sacred detachment,
And I believe
Death is a transmutation.

Back into the body of the One,

In which no part is ever forgotten.
