to a void

Falling 

Down to a void 

Maybe to land on a beach someplace 

Deep in the sand. 

Lost in the sand. 

Lost in a space. 

Body becoming limp

Accepting the void. 

Surrendering to the darkness 

The engulfment. 

Eyes closed. 

Heart limp like the body. 

But the mind and some part of the soul at least 

Grasping at the memories 

And those precious. 

In hopes that those never fade away. 

All while the body is swallowed. 

By none other 

Than death.

[John the Baptist]

Many dread the concept of a void. Perhaps, though, it's not that bad. In a void, there are no forms, nothing to demoralize us with their dissipations. In the void all is one. And one is love.

Thank you for the insight! I've never thought of it that way :) I'll have to remember this.
