With a Nod to HP Lovecraft…

Did I die, did I pass away
Am I just dreaming of life—
Everything is passing like a leaf in the wind,
The years and the days melt away
Could it all be just a trick of the light
A shadow cast by nothing at all—
Is pain really comfort, and sorrow the joy,
Disappointment the raison pour vivan...
Descending the 99 stairs to the deep realm of dreams,
Sailing the White Ship on the endless sea—
To Kadeth Unknown in the barren wastes—
Any troubles like ghosts fade away…
If this is a dream, don’t wake me at all
I find that Death is a friend
Slumbering deep in my ocean of dreams
I await the dawn of a new day of peace:

That is not dead that sleeping lies—
And with countless eons even death can die… HP Lovecraft

What I especially like about this is the lack of artifice in it, the sense that one is listening to the author's own voice, a confiding voice, a voice that assumes an equality and fraternity between writer and reader.
