Life force
Little girl, little girl
Just beyond your reach
A world hangs.
And yet every time you reach for it,
It sifts through fingers like sand.
You must add your spit to that sand,
Pack it together in a large wet clump.
To create that spit, you must learn.
You must learn you alphabet,
You must learn spelling, you must learn
Grammar, phonics, math, algebra, geometry,
Calculus, complex conjugate equation, biology,
Chemistry, polyatomic ions, history for every
Country in the world before you can ever
Begin comprehends what is in that spit.
Slowly, surely, though,you will learn,
You will learn, and think, and see,
And when you can feel
the life force humming all around you.
Flowing, ebbing, crashing, rushing, singing, you will feel it.
When you do, it will be time.
Time for you to face what lies beyond this
utterly insignificant little blue green planet
Hanging like an electron in this vast universe of space
It will be time for you to enter a new world, per say.
You will wake up and feel as if you have just had
a very long, satisfying rest, only to find me
staring you in the face once again. Leading you
to some unknown place. For I am Death,
and I have come to guide you into the next adventure
my poetry has gotten better since that crap blog I did in 8th grade
