At The Edge Of The Void Poem by Peter Vector

At The Edge Of The Void

Rating: 2.5


Swirling, a dark abyss consumes light and life
The cracks and whips of the torrent rip into night silence like a knife
I move forward, an unsteady step toward the unknown
And fall...

Falling or flying, I do not know
Am I looking up or down, which way does this water flow?
Nevertheless, it seems I am going somewhere
And I can see...

Seeing something marvelous or horrible, I think
Shadows of the past, recollections of the future, pass me by as I sink
A paradox, within the angry whirlpool I feel peace
And calm...

Calm at the heart of the storm,
The cold water that fills my lungs seems somehow warm
I stop thrashing, I stop fighting
And I finally feel...

Feelings are what drove me to this plunge
As if all my miserable misjudgements is this dip could be expunged
Yet, I let the ocean take me, as I fall into the sea
And a innocent man somewhere walks free...
