What is Important Now

The light comes
Then goes away
The eyes close
The body wanes
The power falls
And slumber
Creeps it's way
Across my fading conciousness
What is important now
Now that I lay me down to rest
Exhausted
What is important now
I cannot see my face
I might be seven
Though I know that cannot be
Inside
I feel no differently
Than then
For
Here I have no proof
Of what I am
Of what I have
Or in what land
For all is dark
And as my body drifts away
I have a thought...
I start!
What did I say?
Ah yes
What is important now
Now
Before I pass into oblivion
Without a memory of what I am
Without so much a helping hand
Sleep....
Now all my worries
Thoughts unspoken
Deeds done
undone
Dreams broken
Will fit into the matchbox on the floor
Of no significance
Now
So small
So whats the worry for
So what's important now?
Ingredients for Life
Earth
Heat
Light
Peace
The rest?

Fits in the matchbox
On the floor
