it never ends here
fact is
there really is
no end
to place
and time
where there is
always the
fast
approachings
of meadows
and evening shades
even
for sunrise
a time consisting
of all
times
all things
that we knew
and never got
the chance
here
where everyone
whom ever
existed
is our family
everything
whether living
nor not
all the rainbows
all the oceans
the rivers
every land
and peak
they are all
there
even now
never waiting
no more
to judge
nor be judged
with the same air
the same breaths
you took
and the ones
you haven't yet
now there is no path
no road
bridge you will
never journey
no color
day
night
nor any
inbetween
that you will
never have enjoyed
Author notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried intentionally to stay away from specifics, hopefully after reading, these words ring of what we can make of everything that is life and everything else around us... and that who we are... is exactly who we are meant to be! That it is our thoughts and actions that ultimately carries out the circuits of our lives! That, for example, if one were to believe in a heaven and a hell, it is up to that individual to determine what heaven and hell is... for them. I left out punctuation all together, to try and present something that reaches beyond the confines of thoughts and reasonings and how we may group them. ourselves. It is no coincidence that we all possess only our own selves. Time and Space... does not revolve around anything or anyone. Only itself.

The way this twists in and out of itself makes me think of a spiral, which I find interesting ...given the content..
Existence as it is and isn't -- as it is...
The title itself is quite a mouthful..
non that you will never have enjoyed ..
I'm caught by 'non that you will' as it seems to capture existentialism in four small words.. yet at the same time I find myself asking how it is will never have enjoyed it if my sphere of being and all without it exist within it..
perhaps it's that if one thinks of it as nothing, then yes, there is nothing that is ever had, or ever to have..
interesting either way
thank you

I'm glad you took an interest in it. yes, I agree, in what you have expressed. And existentialism is an awesome subject that can be all encompassing in conversation as well as in practice! ty, again and forever take care,
