Another Life

Closing my eyes
welcoming the endless sleep

Tired and weary
entering the deepest deep

The shroud of warmth
a pleasure to the ghastly end

Caressing, coaxing me
as if a long, lost friend

The clouded watery tomb
softly enveloping me

Giving me pause
however brief it may be

The signs, the signs
visible and always present

The world being blind
to another young life, misspent.
