Falling into Oblivion

It took the breath inside of me It took my eyes I cannot see. Each walks the path alone With each breath I feel the stone. Upon my chest, I feel no rest, From the stone by which I'm pressed. I try to pull away, crawl from underneath Emerge from the shadow of disbelief. The rays of hope, light becomes the stone Look for a sign, the cause, must I atone? The warmth of sun, the closer to stun Heavy is the stone when there's no one. I feel screaming in my blood But no air in my lungs. Sinking in my existential mud, Clay, minerals, water a warm pink tongue. What am I? What is my being? Does my breath have any meaning? I walked to see the sunset To a spot where the grass grew unkept. The purple beauty passed beneath the horizon Beneath me dark rocks to land. Closing my eyes I fell forward Smiling at the stones I plunged toward.
