NothingA Poem by Opeyemi Jide-OjoBlack lights! And my shadows Are brilliant, A figure emerges from the flames, Smoke, a true reflection of me, Hazy, confused, I live? Die? Death is but an abstract concept, Nonexistence lying in the middle
of My mind, Formlessness reigns supreme. Hell blows me cold. Ghosts of ages long past And passed, drift back to kiss me, Reminding me of lives long lived. Then I wonder, and in my silence Loudly declare: ‘for in the beauty
of Nothing, is nothing found, and in
every Something, an element of nothing.’ Oh for that void to be filled by Something I desire, Nothing- For I know not what it is. © 2013 Opeyemi Jide-Ojo |
