Gone

Drifting…..
Falling through the nothingness.
Peaceful, blissful void.
Aimlessly floating,
Further away from everything.
I could stay, I know I could.
Stay calm, peaceful, happy.
Continue drifting….
Forever.
And why not?
What else is there?
In the end we will all fall,
Drifting out into the nothingness that we all know.
So why don’t I stay.
I could escape all the rain,
All of my pain.
I’ll end up here no matter how hard I try,
None can escape the inevitable.
But……..

Drifting.
Why?
Why is this feared?
There is nothing to hurt you here.
It’s not an end, not really.
It’s not a beginning either.
It is just plain existence,
With no trials or fear.
I just want to stay here, permanently remain.
It would be easy.
So very easy to
Slip
          Further
                    And
                              Further
                                        Away

Drifting.
Peaceful abyss,
Lovely nothingness.
I want to stay,
Let me stay,
Please……..
“Wake up!”

Gone…
