Aeternum vale

Story


It’s the end.

You know it.

But you are okay with it.

You are calm.

You are at ease with all that was, all that is and with all that will never be.

Your heart has been beating for a very long time.

It has endured suffering, has felt happiness and at last is granted peace.

The light softly takes its last steps and leans into the darkness.

Their eternal dance is fading into nothingness.

You are not afraid. You are safe.

Death is finally coming for you and fulfilling its promise.

Your memories swirl around you. Your emotions are in turmoil.

You remember the grand moments. You remember the simplest details.

Everything that needed to be had been. You have no regrets.

You had loved and you were loved back.

You feel their touch in this very moment.

The storm calms down.

Your smile shines one last time.

Your tears flow gently.

In peace, you say your last farewell.

It ends.
