Darkness

Down under on the sea bed, does it

Feel as it does up on the mountain?

Breathless quest for life 

beyond a singular reality, 

And it's search for eternity

Up beyond those mountains, would you 

Hear dark clouds sing, cry or laugh?

Their songless journey transcending 

heavens, rivers and all in between

Into the very ocean's depth

How many voids will you consume

In all of those lives you enter?

With each bed, a new hunger; 

And each tear a shattering cyclone

A twisted corner, that shaded nook

Imagined mango groves,

Flowered mountain paths

Soundless wind chimes, 

Music on a loop, heard once,

Unheard at once, and then never

Is darkness always deeper 

Around you more than where 

You stand? 

And you, the void to

Suck in all of those dark, 

soulless cyclones?
