Sink
Quiescent,
You're glaring
At, nebulous presence.
Face to face,
You want me to,
“Be your host?”
A reflection casts its gaze
Gently harrowing
Into, Soul.
Such a gracious ghost...
Submerged in the undertow, now;
Seaweed tangling around ankles deep,
To fight or give up the need to breathe?
So you sink.
So you sink.
So you sink.
Facing the mirror,
Sitting there
On a dusty, antique chair.
Disappearing each day;
Before we know it,
Time has passed away.
“They” say to “Live in the moment.”
What are we waiting for?
Maybe this, is it.
Like many people, I find music inspiring. Listening to "Six Feet Under" by Billie Eilish.
