What is This?

Welcome to the first blog I have created outside of a class assignment. I figured I was tired of practicing my poetic skills on facebook statuses which seemed mundane and pointless so I decided to create this (although I am not sure this will be satisfactory either). Nonetheless, I have deemed this as my personal journal for poetry. Enjoy to the few who happen to stumble upon it and feedback is welcome.

The Seventh

Death came knocking on my door today,
Not really to take me away,
But to show me through its eyes,
What lie in store behind all of the cries,
Into the mind's eye to see,
To feel what cannot be free.

Sometimes I have lied awake wondering,
To sleep is to shut down that very engine
That allows us to experience the impossible.
Wandering through woods and between trees
Wandering through the city and around people,
Place becomes unimportant, sight blind, hearing deaf.
We can feel the touch of any story, moment, or everlasting desire,
And close our mind to the explicable, tangible, to feel the imaginable.
