Teacups and Pens

Cryptic Oblivion

Glass boxes at the bottom

of the vast blue sea.

Waiting patiently,

locked and silent. 

Each containing?

The deep, dark secrets

of each and everyone's past. 

But here's the kicker;

the boxes contain the secrets

of your entire existence.

From the day you were born,

to the day you will die. 

The secrets you have known and have

forgotten, thanks to the ticking clock

making everything continue forwards

like a merry-go-round that never stops.

And the secrets you have yet to know,

and you may remember until you take 

your very last breath. 

But don't look for them;

I assure you,

you'll never find them. 

In fact, the keys are

scattered

across the globe, in the 

hands of strangers

you'll never have the pleasure

of meeting. 

But, 

oblivion is bliss,

right?
