The Void

The Void
____________________

Brace yourself
against the darkness
break away
and face the day
when grey will be all you know.

Turn your back
to the wind
and you will find
it’s best to leave it all behind –

As foreign shores
and distant places
you will never return to,
some things are best forgotten.

Prepare yourself
disappointment always comes
hard on the heels of delight.

Let the void
take you –
better nothingness.

Let nothing wake you.
