When I stood at the edge of the abyss,
I closed my eyes and
fell into it with open arms.
Drifting through its vast emptiness.
When I opened my eyes
I saw in the infinite
what I couldn’t see up close.
Other souls like mine.
Souls that celebrated their being,
questioned the infinte
and saw beyond the fear of boundaries.
It was like falling in love.
Written for Day 2 of NaPoWriMo. The prompt was to write a poem based on the quotation given by the Bibliomancy Oracle. My quotation is :
If you wander far enough
you will come to it
and when you get there
they will give you a place to sit
from “Oh No” by Robert Creeley

Souls that celebrated their being,
questioned the infinite
and saw beyond the fear of boundaries.
