Another Time

The ripples on a quiet lake.
A dash of a falling comet in the serene skies.
Singular vehicle dashing through the streets lit by the dim lights.
And a whale calf, washed ashore under the monotonous shade of moonlight.

Catching its last breath, mourning and yearning for the days where it could still soar with other giants, in that calm blue sea. 
"It's never about living a long life, the key is to be able to live your life."
The constant gives-and-takes in its life came flashing back to it like a vintage film flashed into a movie.
All the turning points and crossroads, branching outwards like a tree's root.

One decision leads to another, and the inability and futility of a single soul's will leading to nothing but a life like an one-way ticket.

Ultimately time will run up and there you wonder about all the trades you've made in your life.
Then the question came, "Am I going to die a lonely death?"

A feeling surged. A bizarrely yet comforting sense of calm envelopes the soul. 
"The world would just forget about me." it thought.

Curling up like a human baby, it then tucked itself in for the final moment. 

"...but I have myself...I have it all along."

Exhaling its last breath, it fades into an eternal slumber with what we could only deduce it to be a smile.

Another heart that will not beat another time, whilst billion others still go on.

They may or may not beat together, and yes it's a minute impact of one to a billion,

a singular being may never amount to that of billions.

But to that one conscience...

To that one conscience.
