Lethe’s Cocoon

Posted on

An unbidden stillness has settled in the room.
What was once a tapestry of faces and voices is now a blank wall.
The long good-bye has been said to a life that once was.
The world’s great currents flow on, and I no longer care to swim against them.
I am simply a shore where forgotten things wash up.
Was all that was built a phantom?
The tide will tell. Or it won’t.

    I don’t know whether to ask the question, but I do know a friend who had to say that long goodbye to someone so ?????

    Hi sweetheart!

    I continue to evade the whisper of Thanatos, and I have not yet drunk from the Lethe, but I know well the long shadow they cast.
