the end of all things

the first thing you'll notice is just how quiet the world is
everything seems to stood still
and so distant
once your eyes start to focus,
you'll see the devastated landscape
desolated
destroyed
decaying
but somehow your mind is unable to grasp it
it's not real, isn't it?
then you realize the truth
that everything is over
this dying world is ending
taking you along with it
you'll look to the sky
searching
for what?
hope, salvation maybe?
it's all too late now
all you can do
is
smile
smile as you remember your first kiss
the first time you fell in love
the moment you've said your vows
and the joy you felt when your children are born
as the last sparks of bioelectricy permeates through the membranes of your brain
everything turns to a grayish white
fully lit, but not sharp
"I'm tired
so tired,"
you close your eyes,
drifting to a sleep
you will never wake
again

till we meet again, my friend
