深渊

 1. The great deep, the primal chaos; the bowels of the earth, the supposed cavity of the lower world; the infernal pit.
 2. A bottomless gulf; any unfathomable or apparently unfathomable cavity or void space; a profound gulf, chasm, or void extending beneath.

 

Night after night, to dream of the gulf, the cliff, the abyss.

The utter darkness.

To be there, before the eternal dawn, to breath its air.
To feel, to live, to exist there!

The chill that climbs along the spine, from the moist earth.
The small, unheard cry that fills the sky.
Oh that sky, the sky of a million hues,that drip, that melt.

 

To stand here, to stare at the ancient nothingness.

 

I am,
the curved toes, the held breath, the clenched fists.
                                          Mesmerized.

This beautiful downfall.

 

This urge:
to give in,
to dare the unforgivable.

 

To forget.
To plunge.

 

Every man stands there, night after night, facing his own abyss.
