Listen 
The vortex of deep ocean currents
Pushing my foolish spirit
Up towards the surface.

Sounds echoed rising 
To perfect silence.
And there I am alone.
Try to listen
To the music of the spheres.
Can you hear anything?
No friends
No Enemies
No lovers.

Fear trembled in my invisible stomach.
Yet I try to listen
Who am I?
As planets and stars twirl in the immense universe.
Until a silent vortex of two stars in nova
Send a nuclear quake, 
And disruption occurs
As the old spirit is sent back to the abyss
Of Earth’s Ocean.

Try and find me now.
Impossible!

We are just motes in this vast universe. When there is a kind of apocalypse, our souls will get separated from us and we will slip into the ocean of nothingness. A very profound poem, dear Victor. 'Who am I'.... this is a puzzling question and the most weighty question !

In the big scheme of things we are but tiny specks in the wonders of creation. Hopefully one day the mysteries of the universe will be revealed to us. Well written Victor. Tom

Gosh, this poem took me on an evocative journey, dear Victor! What a remarkable scene you've presented here wherein, those spaces of vacuum in universe still echo a unique silence which has its own voice..Those planets sing their own symphony, if we try and hear.. We can ever listen the heartbeats of our own souls..A deeply profound, thoughtful and meaningful write this is..Absolutely brilliant with intriguing wordplay and an incredible flow as well.. Sending you many best wishes & light ~ a FAV
