The desert of solace
At consciousness’s edge,
Threadbarest souls
Find quiet moments of
Chatterless winds and
Dry weepless sleep
In the evaporating wake of
The eternal abyss.
Here tortured hearts
Slow to stoppage
And judgments are
Too heavy to lift,
Making peaceful
Thoughts of death,
Of lost chunks of self,
Felt as nothing more
Than momentary sighs
Without longing.
It is a place
Without confusion,
Where souls blow like grasses
In the summer breeze
Blissfully unaware of
The impending winter’s
Bitter cold,
Denying the finality of
The eternal abyss,
On an effortless path
To ultimate peace.

Nice
I like this piece, it is very continual (if that makes sense to you) and flowed amazingly.
It reminds me of something from Terry Pratchetts books, after you die you go to a great desert of silver sand which you must walk across in order to receive judgment.
Great Piece
Blessed Be

The eternal abyss,
