Rest

Come child,
Sit for a moment.
Rest.
There is nowhere else to be.
No future to rush towards,
no past to run from.
Sit with me and enjoy the view.

Already Dead

I’m already dead.
Died and gone to heaven.
Did I die in that car crash?
When I slipped and fell?
When I stopped breathing for what felt like eternity?
When I desperately wanted it to stop?
It matters not.
I merely remember a moment where I finally got the joke,
that I was in the only afterlife there is,
cavorting in astonishing beauty,
laughing and dancing with angels.
Whatever seeking I had undertaken to get here was but the build up to a punchline –
all I’d ever needed to do was notice I was already here.
