In a World where I do not Exist Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Silent One 08/29/2024
The world where I do not exist
is only a heartbeat either way
A flicker of light
a trickle of tears
blue turns into (grey)
And it is grey
not black or white
A void without permission
or invite
Oblivious and comfortable
the great filter be
Forgettable too
in absence of memory
Yet into the grey I go
to a realm of nothingness
A world with no woe —
Infinite in empty ignorance
Energy becomes of me
an atom-less mass of entropy
Stretching, pulling
Rising, falling
upon waves of gravity
Outside of time
only spontaneity
in this world
where I strew
Malleable, gaseous, shapeless,
Infinitely complex,
intrinsically simple
Diffusion spirals inside infusion
across a pulsing eternity
For the greatest time
I never had
A netherworld
that does not know sad
This world where I do not exist
precedes and succeeds me
Come what will
Come what may
From where I come
I go back today
A spasm, a twist
a breath, a death
a cycle anew
No void to view
With nothing else to do
til the grey
burns back to blue
