The sleep of the dead...

There's something to be said about being dead

and the sense of calm that comes

with falling asleep at dawn

when the rest of the world has not yet risen

and daylight stands guard

one is overcome with divine serenity

enfolded in the silent gray stillness.

(I was going to call this "My Twilight Poetry"... because... heh... (bad pun deleted))

Light...

Heh... too funny... in and of itself, as well as that it came up today.

Darkness...

I sat here in the dark with tears streaming down my face. I knew daylight was fading but hadn't realized that the house was now completely dark, illuminated only by the light of the laptop screen. My ears ringing, the soothing sound of Rush in the background. To read someone else's words and find that they are me... I closed the laptop and sat here in the dark with my forehead resting in the palm of my left hand. The pervading, persistent thought, like the ringing in my ears... I don't belong here.

There are some things I shall not forget to remember...

Today (yesterday now) in the U.S. was Memorial Day, which is more akin to our Remembrance Day (the date which used to be known as Armistice Day, but in the States became known as Veterans Day).

I have not been much in attendance here and have not had much interest in the activities which used to fill my time. I fear sometimes that I may be losing my mind. Not as in going insane, but rather losing more of the memories, thoughts and data that used to fill it. It is somewhat like I have unwittingly done so by letting go of superfluous information in simplifying the way I process things. Oddly enough, I do now, however, remember things that seem to be closer to my heart than my mind, such as this.

Is it just me?

This song started to play and it reminded me of something else.
