Descent of the Goddess

Dangerous journey, this,
    to enter and emerge,
    identical but not the same.
Void or Chaos, whatsis name, 
    fromlessness is what
    draws us out from safe places.

I like these shorter poems. So much said with few words. If only I had that talent. In a way, even those that come from fromlessness, can turn nothingness into some glistening creation. T.S. Eliot said something like this, I think, "only those who risk going too far, will find out how far one can go". xx
