Notes About The Poem

Void

Don’t go near a vacuum,
Stay clear of empty space,
Don’t look at the dark side,
But watch the full moon’s face.

Don’t fall into a pit,
Or get stuck in a hole,
Avoid incompleteness,
Learn to worship the whole.

Don’t slip into a chasm,
Place your footsteps with care,
And always make sure that
You’re spatially aware.

Nothingness is harmful,
Keep barren thoughts at bay,
Harness your potential,
And you will win the day.

Let your thoughts be whole-some,
Thinking much less like Freud,
But most of all remember to -
Avoid a void ...

Well written, Clive. Sounds like good advice:) There are times when we all need to fill a void.

Thanks for your comments Daniel. Yes, you make a good point there, if you can't avoid a void, the next best advice is to try and fill it!! ~ Clive :)
