Soul's Journey -Part I Poem by Richard Wlodarski
Soul's Journey -Part I
Another door
Opening
To window
Of future
At first
Darkness
Blinding
Sight shocked
Fear
Rising
Threatening
Paralyzing
Demons fighting
For victory
In mortal hell
Abyss waiting
Rich, STORY OF MY LIFE: 'Abyss waiting'! ! ! : ) bri Near-death experience? ? Cool. I'm waiting patiently for my Death Experience. REALLY. But I'm patient like a robin seeking worms.
Very witty response, Bri. Thank you. You've got a few more years than I before meeting The Grim Reaper. Patience is a good virtue to have.

You abandon ordinary sentence structure because its formal pattern would give a false sense of security, and verb tense is anchored in our expectations of an undisturbed continuity. Instead we experience accelerated time, speeds that are traumatic, the ground of being collapses, and we witness the true reality of unrelieved conflict between cosmic forces. This revelation climaxes with the looming a-b-y-s-s, a terrifying entry in a non-human world. Or perhaps, even more terrifying, the abyss is the next stage of our human existence.
Perfect analysis, Daniel. And I'm so happy that I was able to pull it off. Considering the stakes! But this is just the preliminary stage. The next stage is going to be a lot tougher. But I'm really looking forward to it! I sincerely believe that the abyss is NOT the next stage of our human existence. But there are forces at work that are striving to successfully accomplish that goal. I think that it's part of my job as a poet to keep shedding light on this matter.
