“Yet Another Eternity”

The time sink of twilight thrusts forth

An eternity of stasis.

Streaked light, blurred sight, proves daunting

The task of navigation at hand.

Now, like before, am I as drained?

It’s the same as it ever was –

A variety of illusions,

Risky gambles, net zero gains.

 

Solace in a late evening bought

And paid for by morning’s energy.

Sanity now or much later?

A balancing of mental states!

This guided mind traverses through

Labyrinthine highways in an

Unending, spiraling vortex,

Trapping seconds, minutes, and hours.
