For Everything An End

The doze of erosion
Nodding off into extinction
A plague of nonexistence
Spreading with fleeting time
The oxidation of oblivion
The turning to vile ash
Blowing swiftly away
In the swirling whirlwinds
Of eternity
Repose, repose, reawaken.

Did you mean plague? Or is Neology at play here? I first read as plea, then plague. It's just a minor typo but it did trip me up in the oration of it because it can be read as two different words.

This is a very interesting write. I particularly enjoyed the final line, not only for its alliteration, but it's summoning powers of thought to emerge from sleep.

Plague, I meant plague. I was playing around with what word to use and had written plea but settled on plague because I thought it fit the narrative more, that is when the typo occurred. Which would you say reads better? plea or plague? I would be interested to know which you think it would read better as.

Thank you for the input and for stopping by for a read, I do appreciate it!
