A DREAM

A calm sea shines under a full moon
Showing the view

Of a peaceful beach
Amidst utopia

As a wave hurtles
Towards the shore

Threatening to engulf me
Into chaos

I wish it to stop
And it’s Motionless in an instant

Weird in my vision
I can’t be sure whether it’s reality

Or if it exists alongside my fears
I’m thankful for this gift of freezing time

To save my life
Lost in the cosmos

Then consciousness
Threatens to sweep away sleep

And throws me
Towards a bluish sea of reality

While the morning sun
Awakes my senses

As I open my eyes
I remember that frozen second

Of eternity
Thrown into uncertainty

My father died ten years ago. As a cryonicist, I have lost him twice, first to death itself and then to the tomb.

IN MEMORY OF DAD

I have memories of you
Happy events of my childhood
Shrouded in fog
Dimmed by the years

As I remember you
I dissolve in tears
A proud man
Has been reduced to dust

What lies under the mud
It’s not my dad
He’s gone forever
And only lives in my mind
