Dear Abyss

Dear Abyss

A Poem by Shadin Manning

Dear Abyss,

I feared you

You’ve visited me in my sleep, in the mere night

Back when I was juvenile and ignorant of your beauty

At night I heard you knock on my door

I never answered

I heard of your merciless

You take everything away

And it never returns…

 

As I aged I noticed that the black you wear

Is not a symbol of my final destination

But a simply a promise that I will be resurrected in your vast blackness

That is not malicious but delicious and full of nutrition

No one should fear you, we could all use your nourishment

Thank you for wanting to take me there, you’re a saint.

See you soon.
