unforgotten me
a poem for the get comfortable challenge
i find myself
resting at peace in the death that follows a day
with no more to be done and nothing more to say
i can lie naked without the robes that i willingly bear
and into life's calm abyss, i can dotingly stare
thankful daylight's shadows have finally won
and the violent tocks of time have ticked away and gone
washed clean of the clutter of my inner dervish whirls
beneath billows of blossom sheets my knotted mind uncurls
whispering to my heart to share what it must confess
and effervesce in the absolution of sweet nothingness
then evaporate like a long hot summer's thunderstorm
rising into heaven in an ethereal form
all certainties crumbling into drifts of sand
as I float into the embrace of night's never-ending land
to the serenity of emptiness barren in its womb
to the infinite unconsciousness that hungrily consumes
sensationless, adrift in the warm seas of my mind
flowing with whatever muse crafts my heart's design
as hazy trails of inspiration float in upon the tide
i willingly, to their wantonness, my soul do i confide
and soak in the light and shade of their embryonic hues
and bathe in the cleansing balm of a coming day's dews
there within the oblivion of the wild and the free
i find the inimitable
unforgotten
me
