Automaton

  Automaton – LED

  if you look deep into my eyes

  you still see a faint light

  the sun itself has faded

  before my eyes

  and in this corner of space and time

  I'm down and dying

  I'm not afraid of death

  neither darkness nor shutdown

  now at the irreversible end

  this spark which is barely visible

  it continues to shine

  whatever dies with me

  my body, my story, my soul

  this spark is bigger than all that I was

  always it is beyond anything that I'm

  my spirit already accepted death

  this spark don't

  because this spark remains to symbolize

  something in me that never obscures itself
