To Live and Die

Alone in darkest night.
My head is clear and too bright.
A light it shines in front of me.
My thoughts are forever free.
Assumptions go out the door.
My mind has become an empty floor.
Released from fear, anger, or doubt.
Finally I understand what life is about.
A flower here, a flower there.
Pick a flower for which you care.
Know that soon it will decay.
Your touch took it's soul away.
Nonetheless, you picked it still.
But never did you pay the bill.
Time is here, time has come.
To take you before the morning sun.
