The Void

I fell into the abyss.

It happened suddenly,
Without warning or fanfare.

Before I knew it,
I was enveloped and swaddled
In a vast and empty stillness.

The silence held secrets.
Words, shrouded in secrecy,
Hoarsely whispered their meanings in my ear.

At first, I struggled and fought,
Kicked with all my might,
Convinced of my conviction.

I raged at the inherent attributes of absence,
Terrified by its casual desolation.

But,
Gradually I saw the true nature of the void.
It was infinitely compassionate and gentle.
It offered me solace and asked nothing in return.

I gave myself up.
I let go.
I drifted away into placid oblivion.

It was so easy.
It made perfect sense.

Weightless and tranquil, I ceased to exist.
