Insignificant

Pain within. connecting to the feeling

As thin as a whisper of paper,

Or a drop lost in ocean’s embrace,

As light as a feather’s caress,

Or a grain in the vastness of sand.

A morsel of sustenance

In a cavernous vessel,

It dreams of the shrinking confines,

Yearning to vanish away.

Ever shrinking, ever fading,

Hoping for sweet dissolution,

But the vessel stands resolute,

Trapping decay in its grasp.

A soul, so minuscule,

In the boundless expanse of a frame,

Longing to be nothing,

To dissolve in the endless unknown.

Nicely crafted and richly expressive.

Reminds me of Freud's descriptions of "oceanic nothingness" - something you could look into, if interested. Thank you for sharing and I hope to read more.
