Carmen's Dream

In Carmen's dream, he arrives to what he senses is his last day in Creation, the crisp and cold new sky invites his expected ascent. Carmen feels neither fear nor pain. He always knew the day would inevitably arrive. His internal gaze softens into the deep, friendly expanse of blue and cloud. Feeling only curious acceptance, Carmen zooms thru certain scenes from his past, the backlight of sun has never been so clear, last illumination of this worldly dimension, a calm understanding of his mortal departure, a preview of sorts, free of dread or stress, only the full nothingness, then vanish without a trace. In his dream, Carmen soars up thru the vastness of time and space.
