Tranquility

The sands become my tomb

As I lay staring

At natures mirror

 

Memories invade my gaze

The mirror depicts a face

Staring back

 

Is this the face of the man I was?

Or the glare of the stonecut man

That I've become?

 

Etched from marble

Or maybe granite

By the horrors it's seen

 

This sandy grave consumes me

And my glare turns upward

Inflection of this mind begins

 

The mirk above does not churn

It does not waver

And I realize I'm alone

 

The Vast reflects back at the stonecut

Mirroring the emptiness

In his eyes and soul

 

The realization of internal emptiness

Is deafening in the silent night

Has revenge done this to me?
