Abject Spirit

A colorless landscape Spawned in my mind Unknowingly roaming A desert to find what is yet undefined Dry earth under foot Above me no sky Seasons in perpetual twilight Obscuring my path and the passage of time After endless searching The mist began clearing The veil of blindness lifting I came upon a sight most confounding A great black pupil Shone in the sky But instead of blinding Its glow was inviting if not absorbing I felt it thirst for my gaze And it seemed to stare back Deep within me, through me It would've swallowed me whole Had I not been able to avert my gaze Then suddenly I saw its surface rupture The sun burst open Down poured a great fall Of fire and brimstone Thus wept the black star The ground did open Receiving the fall With tremors it gave way And swallowed it all Drained of substance Collapsing the star Became like nothing Had been there at all Abject spirit Hollow husk I wanted for nothing But something to want
