With each birth I wept

With each death I wept

For all I could see was the mud.

And all I could feel was my grief.

I saw my life pass by, right before my eyes

Away from my dreams,

Away from my loves.

I was carried by the force of time

I was blown away like a leaf.

I saw my body covered in mud

I saw my face

I saw my hands

And I was lost to the mud

The mud of a trillion lives.

Life on earth is a solitary orb

Separated by our skin

Divided by our matter.

In the end, there are no borders

No edges and no fears.

All death means is that we are the same

All death means is the end of aloneness

All death means is our return to the mud

To be reborn another way.
