Falling

I'm content, no regret, there is more to life than this
Stolen hopes, dreams turned nightmares, yet I exist
The broken and forsaken wait in line, each for a turn
To swim in the lake of fire, to smell their flesh burn
To heights of Heaven, climb above the atmosphere
Below is blue and green, the message from the seer
Life abundant was given to you, and it was wasted
Perfect planet, nearly unique, hung on cosmic fates
Destiny calls, destiny the answer, be all we can be
Awake, aware, alive without cancer, be redeemed
Dead man oh dead man, the end of flesh is calling
Dead man, oh dead man, into an abyss, I'm falling

"Every moment was a precious thing, having in
it the essence of finality.”   Daphne du Maurier
