Over and out

Its a night of no memories. No stars. No moon. No gloom.
Not even thought.

My tobacco lies quietly in the corner waiting for the pipe to wake.
A satiated wine hush in the air. The breeze sleeps.

A tiny cricket taps a tender beat to the silence.
The neighbour's tap trickles lazily.

Sky wrapped up in cloudy duvet floats dreamless.
The window wilts, weaves wispy words that melt into a whitewashed wall.

No light. No fight. No shadow anymore.
The pensive pen meanders, stops short and gently shuts the door.

Its time to let them be. Its time to set you free.
.
.

I rest my case.

It's eerie and peaceful at the same time. This can be read as a suicide note of final release, or deep meditation in final release just before a deep sleep.

Clever alliteration, Inks.
