Darkness







For I have looked over the edge

And seen the emptiness of oblivion...

It is not the endless vista

Of demons, destruction and fear...

Instead it is...quite simply

      Nothing.





Imagine for a minute: NOTHING.

   Can you?

I doubt it...

 But I've been trying to understand

Nothingness from the time

I was old enough to recall

    My own thoughts...





Nothing.





Is it black?





Absence of light?





A blind person's view?





   What?





Humans cannot begin to imagine

The vastness of an overwhelming

   NOTHINGNESS.





Yet we live in a swirling cosmos

That will destroy us eventually...





But pretend our existence is

    forever, eternal.





  Fools, yes we are.
