no hero
Forget me in this moment;
For I do not exist.
The shallows pale
in the wilderness.
Unkempt
it f a
lls
and the cold freezes
bitterness.
Untouched
is so much of all.
The unencompassed
and otherwise infinite vacuum
of emptiness eternal.
This
is the path of the soul.
Unknown it is
to almost anyone.
For that
is the way of infinity.
About this poem
I wrote this one freezing cold January night alone in a motel room. I was warm but I was alone and It was a silent night. I was picturing a meadow with the tree line and stretch of land covered in an immaculate layer of newly fallen snow. Enjoy!
