Ease into the night
a quiet solitude.
A sinewy stretch of silence
disturbed only by
the beating
of my heart,
echoing,
echoing,
off the hallow walls.
Dark invading blackness,
turns a light on
in my mind.
Memories,
rummaging
through memories
that stir my soul
to speak,
pushing up through
the thickening storm
of emotions.
Finding solace,
in the dreams
of my childhood.
Of family and of friends
now long gone.
Life lived
with promises,
faith,
happiness
and finally,
pain.
The ending coming
way too soon.
Ease gently
into the night.
