For those who ponder

That which is profound knows no other way to be than dark

For darkness rests upon the face of the deep

And he who questions eventually comes to understand the theories of everything; as well as create his own by the vast expanses of time, space, probability, consequence and the evolution of his doubts

For his doubts have led him on a journey everlasting.

Within his embrace is the Universe, and within him is an abyss of question

Intense and pensive.

No longer man; but soul and mind dispersed.

The prize for enlightenment is eternal darkness.

Within oneself, one is doomed to be free;
for there is no consequence for question and all whom have learned to question with reckless abandon is forever burdened by a literal mindful prison.

Darkness is the product of enlightenment.

And to no surprise, enlightenment is the product of darkness.

There is no bliss for he who is not ignorant

For he has come to understand the consequence of choice.

You are right dear Poet.
"Darkness is the product of enlightenment.
And to no surprise, enlightenment is the product of darkness.
There is no bliss for he who is not ignorant.
For he has come to understand the consequence of choice."
I liked the above statement. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

I cannot give too much feedback on this one because I am still digesting it (which says a lot cause I've read it 10 times in the last 30 min) but I figured I might as well say something until a proper comment forms.

This piece is interesting, it got me thinking and it has left me thinking. IT is both inspiring and heartrending. Thank you for penning it.

No clue why a work like this would get 159 views and no reviews. I get this piece although I had to actually engage my brain to do so - and that isn't a bad thing. That last line, the consequence of choice. That is truth.
My thought, my response and not so much review - because the work is brilliant is that light is also the product of enlightenment. Perhaps we become lights in dark places, lit from within. This is a vast write, much respect.
