Amen

I really loved this. When you say, "corruption hid by purity," I gathered that it was a bit of a metaphor for the broader corruption of humanity versus the purity of nature. I like the imagery, and the sense that you are at peace with a natural process of life. I also thought it was interesting that there was a bit of an oxymoron, in that the speaker seems to be in the perspective of the already-dead, yet explains they lack consciousness ("No memories," "before birth"). I would suggest not repeating "time" in the last stanza, it sounds a little off. Overall, great poem.
