Edgar Allan Poe is my muse and has been since I was 10.

BEING EVERYTHING AND NOTHING AT THE SAME TIME

“He felt as if he were not inventing his tale, but merely acting as a conduit to transport it fully formed into the world. Having never composed a work of his own before,”

~ This is the passage from the book, “Eragon” by Christopher Paolini that led to a realization of what my life will be from here forward.

The following is the stream of thought that has finally led to my freedom from the confines of my mind~

Where I will be going…

The passage above states what it physically feels like to be completely overtaken by writing a poem or any other manifestation out of the ether that runs in our World. The control of your mind, body, and spirit are taken over by an unseen force. You are not writing the poem. The poem is using your energy and corporeal form to manifest itself, thus the reason poems feel like our children being born. A piece of one’s soul is emerging into the world. Beautiful, ugly, good, evil, enchanting or even full of scorn… all is a gloriousness that nothing in the Universe can stand or be measured against.

It is as unique as the DNA that has evolved over the millennia of millennia. Fingerprints that can be molded to one’s liking and to have those prints make a vast and far-reaching imprint upon the world. So vast that the ripples will echo forever beyond the end of time and space… beyond eternity.

Humans have within them an innate force that drives them through time and space.  Most often we are in control of this force.  Yet…there are times when this force is all powerful and all consuming, nothing else exists in our minds.  Our bodies become the vessel for this force and it does what it will.  It takes away a human’s ability to reason and causes a chaotic moment.  The length, width, height, longevity and energy that radiates from this moment varies with occurrence.  It can be a moment of pure glory or utter failure.  True unbridled sadness and pain or a peaceful happiness so full of glory that it shatters the heart of those who see it.  This is what it means to reach the height of consciousness.  To reach a point where you are no longer conscious or unconscious but both all the time.  You are ever present in the physical world, moving about the daily repetition. Yet at the same time, you are across the ethereal vale that surrounds the physical world.  You swim in the vast glory of possibility always and so your life becomes richer and also more difficult.  One must master the ability to concentrate on both realms in all ways possible
