Ataraxis in Self-Annihilation

by ataraxia   Oct 13, 2009


It is the state in which the world blurs,
the mind becoming a melting puddle of liquid,
and the body becomes a sluggish form of activity.

In which the thoughts become a flow, the ebbing
ripple of a calm stream, the words within becoming
a soft whisper that echoes calmly and soothingly.

Everything is okay.

Where obscure memories play, rewind and replay,
uncertain whether it is from the past or a false reality.
This time, the silence is not deafening, where vision
fades to black, and the heart at long last
ceases the trouble of beating.

There is peace, this time.
