A Universal Mystery
If I died in my sleep
Would I know it at all?
Would I feel myself rise
Or seemingly fall?
Would the intricate lattice
Begin to collapse?
Would the strings of my lotus
Dissolve me, perhaps?
Would life's minute cells
Coagulate the soul?
Would the fabric of me
Cease to be anymore?
If I died in my sleep
I fear ignorance of this --
A universe, forgotten,
an eternal abyss.
