Soundless Met Emptiness

Today I sat in silence gently closing my eyes Saying goodbye to sounds that makes our world alive Slowly I started to drift, deeper into an unknown black Where sound has never been heard, where life also lacked The deeper and further I went, uncharted by any man Where silenced echoed it's silence, right back to our future plan In this void of soundless emptiness, dust particles brushed me so Prompting me to open my eyes, allowing my eyes to glow So fortunate I think to myself, being present at the beginning of time Finding the truth of yesterdays tomorrows, now knowing where man has climbed I watch the particles spinning, over millions and millions of years Creating planets we know now, aligned are these magnificent spheres Gradually I work my way back, enlightened at what I had viewed Knowing that we are only a blip in time, being here is so misunderstood So many follow their paths, knowing of their yonder So today I sat in silence, gladly closing my eyes I wandered

This is wonderful. You write with such depth and feeling in your pieces about the ages, and space and time and travel. A great poem about sitting in silence and letting the mind 'follow [its] path'. Very very good. Deb ps. soup mail to you
