Alone they linger

shells of their former selves;

newborn creatures -

- not of heaven, not of hell

The path to conviction;

into the void they walk.

to repent themselves

of the never resting dark.

Alone they do travel.

yet is it quite alone?

for the cold of their heart

yearns for memories of old.

Prisoners they remain for eternity.

inside themselves possessing

the "freedom key"

And for those who survive

the never ending stark;

gain peace of mind

and strength of heart.

To live is to die,

To die is to never have lived.

the voyage to one is a journey to "none."
