Too Long

I have had a dream to be asleep forever beyond this moment
To taste of ecstasy, to find peace, and a life without pretense
Enter Elysian fields, resting in the forever sun on the horizon
To escape the pain, to speak with joy of sweet remembrance
I've spent too long in oblivion, existence drones with regret
This flesh is weary but my spirit will achieve transcendence 

“Never forget:
      we walk on hell,
                                      gazing at flowers.”  Kobayashi Issa
