Step Across the Void

What are we to expect when fate catches up with us?

Stepping across the void we fall into oblivion,

Subject to our denial we fall endlessly,

Through the blackened pits of disparity,

We fall unsure of our lives upon our eyes.

When will I fall into the blissful sleep?

Afraid of the day we may not wake we live life,

Ignorant to the time we are given we glide by,

Living within the boundaries of our mortality,

We must all one day take the plunge.

I await the day I may harmonise with the angels,

Living life as a pilgrim I strive for the higher cause,

My bones may grow weary and my muscle strained,

Yet I will not fear oblivions gate,

For life is a chapter within our hallowed book.

For when the day should arrive I shall not look back,

Reach out and touch me with your hearts,

So I would know I have fallen with reason,

As I step across the void I shall not fear it,

For life is a pilgrimage we must all take.

[Jeffrey Gershom]

This is an intense poem. I enjoyed it very much. I have peered into that void and found solace in knowing that, if there is anything we can count on in life...it's death.

"...We must all one day take the plunge." True words indeed.

I'm usually somewhat critical, especially when I like things...however, this is superbly written. It's been sometime since I've read something about death that wasn't completely cheesy or simply overrun with the common words and phrases. You manage to dance in a perfect circle of allusion around the main subject; making it perfectly clear what you mean, while shrouding it in mystery. Great job.

"As I step across the void I shall not fear it,
For life is a pilgrimage we must all take."
I like the story and the logic of the poem. Must take chances and test life. I like the complete poem. The strong ending made the poem complete. A excellent poem.
