Array ( [sid] => 86723 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ersatz Planet [time] => 2005-03-07 12:29:03 [hometext] => Oblivion. For many, it is the ultimate reward for an introspective life. For others, it is merely the flip-side of existence: as that which IS must be negated, and that which IS NOT must share equal status. [bodytext] => Each person brings
a sprinkle of discreet
anguish unto the Earth--

and some fill their voided
spaces with indulgent
fervor; and some labor

to enwiden them;
for a creative power
resides in vacuum.

We are ushered
from birth in unmaking
void as substance we

can hold onto--
and by doing, so destroy
Oblivion, our home,

but for a short time; for
we are of darkness;
for darkness is of we. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 543 [topic] => 64 [informant] => Sagacious [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ambiguous )

Interesting thoughts - I enjoyed wrapping my mind around this although I must say that I am looking more toward enlightenment than oblivion, but I enjoyed these words :

We are ushered
from birth in unmaking
void as substance we

can hold onto--

thanks for writing, and welcome back.

You truly live up to your name, Kris!! Welcome back, old friend! LOVE this! As always, your work never fails to inspire, enchant, and beguil! Absolutely beautiful, cheri ami! Oui, we are children of darkness, and darkness is of us... So true. Wise words, incredible images, just simply gorgeous. I hope to see more from you, my friend! You have been missed! Hoping all is well! All my love. Forever,

Your old friend,

Stephy!
