<u>In Nothingness Absolution</u>


    Despair is the gravity of the mind,


    The leaden weight upon Einstein’s sheet


    It drags me down into the pit where the dragon sleeps


    The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    The hungry one who gnaws and bites and takes takes takes


    Until just the shell remains.


    Staring out at a world I once thought bright


    For what was lighting it was me.


    There is no light now; there are just stolen dreams.


    Memories of what could have been


    Within the box not even hope remains.


    It should not be so but it gladdens me.


    No goals, no plan, no expectations


    In aimlessness I shall not fail.


    Nought to try; it should hurt and yet


    Oblivion is a tranquil water.


    To float forever upon it a peace.
