As I gazed into the eyes of a man.
They were deep and dark,
an empty, frozen place.
There was no fear.
There was no hate.
As I looked into those eyes,
they seemed endless as the cold night sky.
Yet I could not look away.
His freedom had left him
long ago.
Today, I looked into the eyes of a dead man
and saw that immortality
may not be just a dream.
For death is not an ending,
but the closing of one journey
and the beginning of another.
