Week 63

The emptiness persists.
It is a deep dark cavern
Lit up by Starlight.
There is a beginning and an end
To this place,
I'm just here in the middle.

I'm walking on sand,
It shifts underneath my toes.
As I slowly try to regain my balance,
My calves ache,
My muscles quiver,
Yet I take one more step,
Each step I take
Is one step closer
In this land of grief.

It's a much quieter world
Than I was expecting.
The silence persists,
Louder than the emptiness
The sky is a  navy blue blanket
In the sky.
This land is stark and cold
Yet beautiful
Like When we lay in your parked car
Looking over a city of lights.

I stop for a moment,
Sleep comes once in a while.
Tomorrow I will deal
With the ache
That today's journey has begun.
Tomorrow I will deal with many things.
For now
I will curl up
And try to get some rest.
