Universal Amenity

Universal Amenity

A Poem by Cory Scott

As The Sounds Erode
This Deaf World We're In
We Open Our Blind Eyes
Lost, Adrift In The Shadows
We Traipse Purposelessly 
Floundering Up A Vertigo Inducing Slope
To An Acrophobic Peak
Where We Shut Our Eyes
And Dare To Be Ambitious
Before Carrying Out A Leap of Fate
Falling Through The Clouds 
Moisture Glistens in The Sunlight
Little Diamonds in The Sky
How They Twinkle In Our Eyes
Whilst We Look Upon The Sea
Steadily Approaching, We
Take a Long, and Deep Breath
Before Plunging Into A Mollifying Ocean of Consciousness
Where We Begin a Dive To The Bottom
Beyond The Schools of Knowledge
Beyond The Pods of Wisdom
Brace Yourself Whilst The Pressure 
Intensifies As We Conduct Our Descent
As The Light Ebbs To Naught
In The Innermost Abyss
Wherein Only Sunken Woes Prevail
Warmness Emanates From Below 
We Near The Vent Covered Seafloor
Where Plumes of Frustration and Anger
Boil Everything Around Them
Let It Flow Around You
As We Breakthrough To The Other Side
We Emerge Floating Aloft 
Over a Blue Sphere, Replete With Life
Looking Ahead, Perpetual Dark Matter 
Dotted With Infinite Dreams
Light Unhurriedly Engulfing Darkness
With Immeasurable Tenacity 
We Propel Ourselves Onward
Into The Unknowns of Space 
Into The Galaxies Abound With Countless Dreams
Increasing Speed Each Fleeting Second
Inevitably We Come To Immense Planets
Bloated With Delusive Promises
Their Gravitational Pull Trying To Drag Us In
Faster, Faster, Until The Surroundings
Are But Blurred Dreams
We Pass Into a Nebula, 
Colorful Specks of Talent, In Splashy Clouds of Ego
An Ode To Lust and Pride
Onward Towards The Next Beguiling Curiosity
A Gargantuan Red Sun Flares Up
Too Full of Hope, It Collapses At The Core
A Supernova of Failed Aspiration
Consequently We Follow The Liberated Energy,
Elements We Can Use As Inspirations
To Obtain The Attainable
As It Stretches Beyond The Minds Ability To Grasp
Considerable Force Begins To Overtake Us 
Supermassive Black Woes, 
They Swallow Countless Galaxies
Crush Their Dreams, and Spit Them Out
Hollow Lessers
One Final Push of Determination Breaks Us Free
Further Into The Darkest of Matter
A Beacon of Light Shines
A Pulsar To Guide Us On Our Way
We Approach Quickly, At a Speed Light Envies
And Discover a Wormhole, A Universal Amenity
A Shortcut Between Mind, Body, and Soul 
We Enter In, To Emerge At The End
Only To Stumble Into a New Beginning
And As The Sounds Serenade
This Melodious World We're In
We Open Our Inquisitive Eyes
To Find Ourselves, Content.
