Embraced we are

Nothingness is what I at times swim in
Seeking to stay afloat with only void to sustain me
Moments float away and fade like smoke
Is there anything underneath?
Fatigue rises up and claims my limbs
Mind foggy my thoughts slow and shallow
Wanting oblivion for a time
Something deeper than sleep unresting
Blackness without dreams for a time I desire
Will I ever find true rest?
It passes, seconds, moments and hours like these
Like all else it dissipates replaced by something old and worn
Forcing me to take deep root in what encloses the void
From which all experiences flow.
Steady ground buried beneath the darkness
Love and life when feeling is dead
Hope lives where despair also has taken root
So one step I take and then another.
Each moment complete infinity present
Connection stronger than death itself
Beyond knowing we are known
In coldness night embraced by love we are.
