Oblivion

Where have I descended? Where are my conscience and consciousness? Why is emptiness engulfing me like the darkest nights? Why does everything around seem like nightly nothingness? Why do I feel as though I have fallen from mountain heights? The feeling of feelinglessness; the thought of thoughtlessness The mind is blank (tabula rasa), like an empty slate. There's an absolute awfulness to utter lawlessness. Nonexistent souls dumped in an absurdity of fate Lethe, the goddess of forgetfulness, take hold of me. I am dipped deep into the deepest rivers of Hades. Nothing is transparent; no living creatures I could see. Am I, for the further flow, thrown into the Euphrates? To me, an optimist, all these are but passing phases. To gaze beyond blazes, the almighty of all graces
