| No Regrets |

A strong wind blows on a desert landscape.
Sand dunes and valleys stretch toward the horizon.
I look out and I see the blue sky turn into black.
Stars pierce the sky with their light.
Glowing balls of energy in the sky, tiny balls of sand underneath me everywhere.
I am sinking into them.
Help!
I think to scream but the stars take the words from my mouth.
Soon the sand sinks into my skin underneath me within me.
I am underneath now no more stars, only sand.
I am greeted in a most mysteriously way and led to another place.
Stagnant air breathes my soul my body is vanquished.
Cleansed in a sea of sand I rise.
Once more I look out and I see the blue sky now red blood.
Bleeding me, cleansing me, I am free.
Only sand.
I am underneath now, no more stars.
Just me, just forget it all.
Tomorrow is another day in the desert landscape.
I sigh and sand blows from my mouth, a strong wind.
Living and breathing and not knowing when it will be over.
Or if it will ever be over.
For now I will have to live with no regrets.
I rise and think to myself a blue sky now red blood.
No more stars, no more blackness.
Just forget it all.
