Convulsing
these final hours ending restless years in a moment i am gone tossed against the stones shattering, like stained glass into fragments of the whole carried beyond this hopeless void merging with the earth silent soil, dead as dreams waits, patient, to claim the past stolen remnants of the lost but i am gone, shifted into shape unknown broken vows echo black i am changed into another empty shell is burned ashes strewn, adrift for ever former is lost now there can be no return cast the self into inferno i emerge cleansed by the flame witness what i have become disparate shade passing through the firmament particles swept on by a solar wind dreaming in universal expanse

Within as without. Sounds of an ending.
