The Long Morrow

I remember things

It's more than just void

darkness

unconsciousness

There are images, patterns, things to recollect

It's not just the long sleep that comes when the fear has left

The cold is felt, the slipping away of feeling is noted and then succumbed to

The mind functions,

But there is a sense of time even so

And I remember things

I remember the way it was in the beginning

But now I think of these things

Now they come to mind

Now in the darkness

In the cold

the solitude

The stillness

The loneliness

Now there comes a feeling of warmth

Where are you now across the void

Through the millions of miles of cold empty space

Through the vastness of a naked desert of sky and stars

I love you"
