Whisper

"If I could travel the endless desert and feel the scorching sand burning beneath my feet,
just to learn that a single grain could crush me.
If I could hike the steepest, biggest monster of a mountains
just to really learn that the sky is endless, I would.
But, Alas if I could stay right here, rip open my chest and head,
to hold my mind in one hand and me still beating heart in the other hand
and let my soul see them for what they really are.
With my dying breath would my soul finally whisper the truth of the universe in my ears,
while I have only moments left to listen…
would it tell me I am and will be love?"
