The Abyss's Prophecy

I stare hard
Unblinking into the inky depths
And saw those two eyes stare right on back

The abyss glares back
Unblinking, at me
And I wait for it to speak

But it engulfs all sound and light
Sucking the world dry
And I deemed this was the message

Do not stare into the abyss and hope for answers, for it will stare right on back waiting for an answer from you.

    you really turned the title into a very interesting story & message. I like the concise nature of this poem. Third stanza did it for me.
