Emily's poems

Entering the Void

The time has come for me to immerse
Shifting into a new era that leaves me dispersed
My old ways have parted as I have grown
The stitched fabrics that have built me are sewn
These structures are the shapes that form
The DNA that is who we are is born
Replicated, and repeated in the dense shell
The parts of me have risen from where they fell
The human psyche is quite an enigma
Buried deep into the abstract as faint insignias
Our consciences that experience the external
Process each moment to write in the blank journal
Life is one giant, long pathway of events
Many happenings that occur during our expense
I think back to the eras where all of this began
And all the moments where I suffered at the hands
Of the bleak existence that left me deceased
But I was reborn into new hope with a lease
Picking up the remnants of that shattered time
Which will always reside in the back of my mind
I have endured enough pain to get used to
The known that I am familiar with, the blue
Learning takes a lot of mistakes and errors
Even if deaths are involved, such terrors
It takes a unique way to think and solve
The problems that the past laid bare to resolve
We hand each baton to the next runner in line
The destination seems near, and it is sublime
Improvements are made each phase, in strides
We were once on the ground and then we could glide
I revert to the moment where I am in the pod
As I prepare for the launch to aim for the Gods
Such velocity of trajectory that pushes me forth
And pulls my weight up from there to max force
A steady breeze rushes past me as I hold on
An ethereal silence that reminds me of past gone
My eyes are still, as I am locked into place
My trip into the eons, this vacuum of space
The concept of nothing is when we do sleep
As our body heals gently in the nights we keep
So I guess this moment is like the one right now
Weightless as it is to float in this grand shallow
My old, crinkled skin peels off as I burn
And the new icy cold has made its return
The layers that I used to know in the distance
Has aided my ever-changing body with assistance
Those living organisms in my living soul
Remind me of the sunny days when I was whole
In that peaceful place at my desk during the afternoon
I hope that I will create lots of new memories soon
I do not know why I obssess over this craving
Preserving all the moments that are worth saving
Dwelling on yearning affections that I truly love
The sweet embrace of a soft, white dove
As you can see I am quite frequent with this
It has been what I chase after, I really do miss
My trip back down to where I came from
Has really changed me as I grow numb
But what really matters is that I keep going
Making an effort to write down what is flowing
Regardless of the circumstances and my position
I am stronger and more confident in this condition
Who will ever read this? Will I ever know?
Imagining the thoughts in strangers’ heads hollow
So be it, I have come to this very point
I stretch my body and all of its aching joints
As I head towards the place I have wanted to visit,
I leave behind what was my very last limit…
