from nowhere
riding waves of uncertainty
breaking forever
into the dark waters
of death

it comes

pain
degradation
consuming all that remains
of hope
the gaping maw
the pit
of unimaginable terror

there is no redemption
no reason
or joy
life becomes folly
a cruel joke
meaningless

the eternal void
unrelenting
the most powerful force in the universe
cries for vengeance

why now
when did all faith
die upon the stone
crushing reality

time has forsaken
and innocence is lost
to the winds
the brutality
of ephemeral existence

it clarifies the mind
cleansing the soul
making ready
this tortured body
this nascent corpse
longing for peace

Peace/Love
