Into Nothing…

My dream from last night…

In my sleep last night…
I opened my eyes…
and I was inside a massive mansion—

I mean huge…

The longest hallways one could imagine…
It was dark…
but enough light creeping through
that I was able to see…
and exist in it…

It was a kind of quiet
I’ve never heard before—

I was totally alone…

Absolutely terrified…
but I kept myself together…
I didn’t know what else to do…

So I just started walking…
down the hallway…
pausing at times…
looking into the rooms…

There was something familiar
about some of them…
but I don’t know what…

And then the lonely started hitting me
hard…

A kind of lonely I’ve never felt…

As if I were the only living thing
in existence—

Absolutely nothing else…
no one to talk to…
no one to pray to…
nowhere to go…
no place to call home…

A cosmic lonely—

Where you are it…
in the entire universe…

The feeling was unbearable…
and the emptiness I felt
can’t be compared to anything…


Just utterly lost…


…into nothing…
