- The Organic Poet
Empurpled Melody @OminousHallways
Swells of quietude drift
Along the lava plains
And deep in ocean trenches
Where nothing exists
But monochrome dreams
And monotone drones
I drift in the inky black
Ushered away from all I know
A faint pinpoint of light receding
I find pressure squeezing me
Gently at first
Then harder, then too hard
I feel my very being
Start to creak and crack
The future melts into the past
The blank slate of nothingness
Offers me its chilly embrace
And the void is all I can see
But then a small ray
Of distant light intensifies
As the crushing forces steel me
First I see intense colors
The emptiness empurpled
Into violent violet, lavender
My senses awaken
With perfume-like flushes
Of fragrant eucalyptus
I find a surprising well
Of strength and fortitude
A striking unquenched will to be
I step forward tentatively
Onto lush grass amid brilliant wildflowers
In an unending meadow
Life is mine to take and hold
And even if it’s small and fragile
It is smooth and warm and lustrous
From it I can draw forth
A brief but beautiful melody
That for now is mine to sing
