Step into the Void

Caleb Warner

You and I will fall someday

Never is there time to run

From the impending doom

That is the toll of Death

Once you’ve caught a glimpse

Of the darkened face of Oblivion

You can never go back to

The way it used to be

Was a way of ignorance

Milling around in the mire

Of our all-important world

Which turns out to be,

When we step back,

A very insignificant place

Compared to the vastness

Of Everything Else

Our way was nothing

So does it really matter

Whether or not you can go back?

Death is freedom

Freedom from our precious

Slough of a world

Once you are gone,

Will others remember you?

Once they are gone,

Will anyone recall you?

If we do not take the time

To separate ourselves

Out of the commune

And make a difference

In our beloved world

No one will remember us

But does it matter anyway?

Everything must come to

Its respective end

When all has been

Enveloped in the Void

Then what?
