This Ship has Sailed with Me Beneath It

Squinting at the sun
Until dancing spots of blindness
Block the trees from view
Forming skeletal hands
Waving in the breeze.
Sometimes they reject
Sometimes they beckon,
A gesture hurrying
Inviting people to surrender
The burden to life
To the solace of death
The nothingness of being
Bound in a still pool
For all eternity.
Watching as skeletal trees
Beckon your fellows.
Never being able to interact
With any of them.
Eternally bored and alone
Nothing matters anymore.
