The great cessation

Will we ever see a time when it's enough
When we see what we know isn't all
Of all that is creating
A world of broken hearts
Of tired eyes
Living in this shell
Like it was forever

Close your eyes and let it go
Breathe in the space
Before you were born

Crashing waves
Grief and pain is washed away
Open to the great cessation
Waves wash away memories
Wane and fade
Open to the great cessation

Will we ever see a time without cause
When we see what we know never was
It never was churches altars, shrines caves
In the heart within the womb
Raising our hands to a sky without end

Watch the river pass by
Passive on the shore giving temptation
Space to explore dense guilt and guile
Gently put to rest
Reverberate through time
Lives pass on and pass on
The witness triumphant
The death of the deathless one
