⌛

is it time?
snow melts, slipping away without a sound.
leaves fall, no struggle, no second thought.
the wind calls my name, over and over.

i’ve held on too long.
fought too hard.
for what?

the rain doesn’t fight.
it falls.
it sinks.
it disappears into the earth,
forgotten before morning.

maybe i should too.
let go.
drift.
be nothing.

no more waiting.
no more hoping.
no more.

just quiet.
just the wind carrying me away.
just the rain washing me clean.

just nothingness.
