    Sweet Comfort

    Tired,
    sweet comfort
    slips in
    yawning.

    So exquisite, 
    no resistance, 
    carried away
    as if on a wing.

    And then,
    no being, no seeing, 
    sleep,
    a certain end.

    Will death come like this,
    a sweet embrace,
    holding, warming
    drowning in honey ?

    I asked life
    over and over
    to reveal her secrets,
    while there was yet time,
    but no answer came.

    I asked again
    a thousand times,
    until all questions 
    just vanished.

    And then,
    to my surprise
    all that remained
    was the honey.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
