TRANSCENDENCE

We never stop seeking the impossible;
we do not surrender;
frantically, we challenge existence itself…

Against the currents, facing a new era,
we wander in search of crumbs of happiness,
sparkling
in the galaxy of everlasting memories.

All it takes is a moment,
a single second,
for everything to come to a halt
and turn to dust…

Hemispheres of time
vanish into darkness
without leaving even a trace,
while you,
suspended in the air,
remain
unable to set your feet upon the ground…

Into an unknown space, you fade,
sinking into the mist of oblivion.

You no longer have eyes
to discern the horizon
where your karma finds refuge.

You no longer have ears to hear the sounds
that once, gentle, rose from your voice,
now stripped of melody.

You no longer have hands to touch
even a ray of sunlight
with your fingertips,
knowing that it could bring you back to the surface.

You no longer have wings
to fly toward salvation,
nor legs
to walk with steady steps
toward that destination
where pure life sinks into the abyss.

You no longer even have breath
to fill the lungs of the world with oxygen;
you no longer have the words
to change, even slightly,
what could never be undone.

And at last, you understand and accept
that you have no strength left,
no heartbeat left with which to live,
because your soul
no longer belongs to this world…
