[MD] When time stops

[Margaret Warren]

This poem is wonderful.
Did you write it? 

For me - I think of it without time stopping though -
it's like looking into the self when the the ego
has collapsed. 

I especially like the part of looking into the chasm 
and the emptiness - the dying emptiness.

And that somehow makes the Eternity sound
so hopeful.
