To rest forever is a concept as vast and mysterious as the cosmos. It is the ultimate cessation, the final full stop at the end of a life’s sentence. It is peace, uninterrupted and eternal. A state of being beyond the grasp of human comprehension, yet a concept that has fascinated philosophers, theologians, and scientists for millennia.
To some, it is the promise of oblivion, a peaceful escape from the burdens of existence. A chance to be free from pain, sorrow, and the relentless march of time. It is the ultimate release, a surrender to nothingness. The idea of eternal sleep, a dreamless slumber that knows no awakening.
For others, it is a transition, a passage to another realm, a continuation of consciousness in a different form. Perhaps a reunion with loved ones, an exploration of new dimensions, or a merging with a cosmic consciousness. It is the belief in an afterlife, a place where souls find solace and purpose.
Yet, for many, the idea of forever is a terrifying prospect. The fear of the unknown, the dread of nothingness, and the longing for life's experiences can make the thought of eternal rest unbearable. The human spirit, it seems, is inherently resistant to the idea of finality.
Whether it is a peaceful slumber, a spiritual journey, or a terrifying abyss, the concept of resting forever is a fundamental part of the human experience. It is a question that has haunted humanity since the dawn of time, and one that will continue to be pondered as long as we draw breath.
Ultimately, the truth about what lies beyond the veil of death remains a mystery. Perhaps it is better left unexplored, a canvas upon which each individual paints their own interpretation. For in the end, the only certainty is that we will all, inevitably, rest forever.

Eternal Sleep
To rest forever, a profound and still
A silent echo where thoughts once will.
No dawn to greet, no dusk to see,
Just endless peace, eternally.
A slumber deep, where dreams take flight,
Beyond the reach of morning light.
No worries etched on weary brow,
No burdens pressing, here and now.
In realms unknown, a tranquil space,
Where time stands still, without a trace.
No laughter's chime, no sorrow's tear,
Just quietude, serene and clear.
A cosmic pause, a final breath,
Released from life, from joy and death.
In slumber's arms, forever cast,
A silent echo of the past.

The Red Hatred
Sometimes I feel like I hate you. A kind of red magma forms inside me, in my chest, and rises to my throat. In that moment, I want to destroy. I want to grab a plate and smash it into pieces. I want to take scissors and shred that red, sexy underwear I bought to please you.
