Completing the Puzzle

I’ve reached the end
each step counting back
cold, colder, coldest
my mind is empty

Each step counting back
through abandoned spaces
my mind is empty
deeper and deeper into nothing

Through abandoned spaces
absence becoming
deeper and deeper into nothing
devoid of ripples or tides

Absence becoming
a vacant mirror
devoid of ripples or tides
eerily calm

A vacant mirror
cold, colder, coldest
eerily calm
I’ve reached the end
