Tick, tick, tick,
Then silence.
The clock has stopped,
But time does not
Stop now.
Drip, drip, drip,
Then nothing.
The water does not drip no more,
But the flood continues and does not
Stop now.
Thump, thump, thump,
Then stillness.
The body may be dead,
But the soul's existence does not
Stop now.
Though, when something,
Anything,
Does not persevere,
We all know that we need to go.
Go now.
Then silence.
