silent reckoning
an acrostic

Seductive is the void where stillness reigns
I have everything to lose, yet more to gain
Lies and truths are only spilled in vain
Even past stories of struggle and pain are
Nothing more than dust in the vast great plain
Clarity has now eased all strain
Ending all wars; there is no one left to blame

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.
