Blank #8 / Precipice - The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die[00:00:00]
I'm standing on the precipice[00:02:45]
It's a cliff that I've prayed on before[00:02:49]
So much so that despite the fact[00:02:52]
That I don't know[00:02:54]
If I believe in a god or gods anymore my fingertips they bear callouses[00:02:55]
My palms they bear callouses from pressing together so tightly[00:03:01]
I pray hard when I pray I've often thought[00:03:05]
That this maw in front of us was the end of everything[00:03:10]
A darkness that consumed all a black hole[00:03:15]
Do you know that we are made up of the same stuff[00:03:19]
That makes up the stars[00:03:23]
So what flows through us may not be just blood it may be stardust[00:03:25]
And we are dying[00:03:33]
Every second of every minute of every hour of every day brings us closer to[00:03:35]
That final day that final hour that final minute[00:03:39]
That final second that final breath[00:03:43]
Which means when we run out of hydrogen[00:03:45]
We become giants or super giants or supernovas[00:03:48]
And if not that then we are simply stars[00:03:52]
Whose ill fated courses end in collision either way[00:03:55]
Either way we'll explode with this in mind I reconsider the precipice[00:04:00]
There is something beautiful in its persistence in swallowing us all[00:04:15]
The end[00:04:19]
The end of everything is the beginning of a brand new everything[00:04:20]
The end of this universe may mark the beginning of a brand new one[00:04:25]
So that even now when my heart feels like the most[00:04:31]
Congested intersection the world the world it is waiting[00:04:34]
I reconsider the precipice and so in an effort[00:04:53]
To take part in reckless acts of self definition I jump[00:04:57]
And I ask you to join me as I fall[00:05:03]
As I let that beautiful blackness take me into its arms[00:05:08]
I know that I will be safe in them[00:05:12]
I know that we you and I all of us[00:05:15]
We will be safe in its embrace[00:05:20]
