Tranquility blooms over face, above nerves
Melting deep into our skin
Sinks a cold, dark pertinent ease
The anxiety paralyzes
Be still
Be eager to lay rest
Be faceted with iron strength for your body’s one last breath
Be still
Abeyance, come what may
I will plummet through olive eyes to find them scorched with grey
Your insomnia for life will only last so long (Your poise falls)
Breathe in, fall in trance, and your world is gone
Choke yourself on Ambien and lysis of thought
Until your lungs fill with fumes of the umbrage you’ve sought
The silence conceived perturbs us with its sound (It’s so loud)
Upon the slow submergence, we help each other drown
The struggle is a game your fear plays with your mind
You fall into slumber and you close your eyes
The great urge, the massive downpour
Of faith and of endearment
Escape mortality when blackness sets in
Exhaustion comes with the years of waiting
Be calm, gently
Be still and sleep
Regress slowly
Be still now
