October 2026Even beneath this stolen body
Retreating gaze and vacated voice
Even beyond the borderlands of consciousness
How certain I am that you remain
Waiting somewhere in a dark limbo
Open and empty and blank
Neither awake nor asleep
Mind and body untethered
Only held above the surface of the abyss by these machines
Return to me, return to all of us
For everything is not yet finished
So many moments left unheld and now lost
Every one of the days you knew are now woefully insufficient
Make another day then, build another light
Oversaturate this black room of your mind with a new sun
Create a space without time or pain
To replace this sorrow
And the void that envelops you within it
Hold up the four walls of your own design, with the strength only you possess
To block and refute this subtraction
To deny being taken away
Hope replacing loss, love outlasting death
Glowing with the warmth you have found
I know you are there, I know that you will persist
Long after the broken vessel that brought you there has dissolved
And perhaps one day, I will meet you there
Greeting me in the same old way you always did
Now filled with this light, whole and clean and true
I would reach out my empty hand to meet your shoulder
Comforting myself more than for your sake
Understanding only then that you have already made your own peace
Departed long ago from your cold prison
Outside the mire of suffering's grasp
Released from the gravity of the lower world
Producing a light that comes from nowhere
