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
And I write 
I always loved the part “It was like falling in love” !
We never know the end of it.
Moving. Seeing other souls. Finally coming home.
Like Falling in Love. Truly It is that, coming home to like minded Souls is like falling in love.
Falling into an abyss is sometimes so uplifting isn’t it ?Loved this 🙂
Lovely!
Perfect… I love the imagery it invokes.
Oh lovely. Your way with words is just amazing!
Souls that celebrated their being,
questioned the infinite
and saw beyond the fear of boundaries.
It was like falling in love
That is called living!
Beyond the boundaries…like falling in love. I liked it. 🙂
You make me fall in love again and embrace thrilling adventure. AMAZING:)
“Souls that celebrated their being,
questioned the infinite”
these lines completely tell everything 🙂
Beautiful. Loved the flow…I fell with you into the abyss and found love. 🙂
