V6

[Opening — long instrumental] [Spoken, almost whispered] Do not look for me where I have been. I am not gone. [Long silence] I have only changed my form. [Instrumental] The river does not disappear when it reaches the sea. [Very long pause] Neither do we. [Instrumental — slowly opening] What we called a life was one shape of something endless. [Long silence] One breath. One name. One small window into infinity. [Instrumental] And when the window closes— the light does not. [Very long pause] We return. Not backward. Not away. We return to what we were before we had a name. [Long instrumental passage] Perhaps death is only this: the moment we become too vast for one body. [Silence] Do not be afraid. [Very softly] I will know you. In another form. [Long silence] We return. [Extended instrumental ending]
