idea: abcdefg, put me out of my misery

The letters fall in a line,
A measured, careless track,
A simple alphabet marking moments on the rack.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G -
A sequence smooth and deep,
The slow procession of the hours
While the weary world’s asleep.

Each letter holds a weight,
A breath held in the air,
A fragile tapestry of burdens that we bear.
They mark the footsteps taken,
The silent, fading light,
The long, unwinding shadows in the lonely, endless night.

And in that ordered line,
A whisper starts to climb,
A plea that breaks the silence,
Transcending space and time.

It is not shouted sorrow,
Nor a desperate, sudden cry,
But a quiet, aching longing
Beneath a hollow sky.

“Put me out of my misery.”
A simple phrase, a sudden rift within the sound,
Where heavy silence settles on the hallowed ground.

It asks for stillness given,
For the breaking of the chain,
To ease the crushing pressure,
To dissolve the endless pain.

The misery is woven from the threads of what has been,
The muted colors fading where the vivid life has been.
It is the weight of waiting,
The echo of the fear,
The heavy, dragging burden that makes the soul feel bare.

To be released is not an ending,
Nor a sudden stop,
But a long, slow unwinding
From the grip of the relentless drop.
It is the gentle turning of a tide upon the shore,
The letting go of anchors that have weighed us down before.

Let the sequence end, let the alphabet resign,
Let the linear path dissolve where shadows intertwine.
For the pain that sought release is not a thing to be confined,
But a tapestry unstitched, leaving peace for heart and mind.

Let the misery find softness,
Let the sorrow find its ease,
A quiet, sacred resting among the ancient trees.
To shed the brittle edges,
To let the tension cease,
And find the silent comfort, and the undisturbed peace.

The ‘G’ remains a promise,
Not a boundary stark,
A space where quiet healing leaves its gentle mark.

The line is closed, the chapter ends,
The heavy toll is done,
And in that finished silence, a brighter dawn is spun.
