Empty spaces feel me from inside
Like a large vacuole engulfing its prey
I feel a minute tinge of pain, running down my spine
I feel light, I experience something divine
Black shadows encircle me, Communicating
with my soul, beckoning it to interpret their silent words
A pale glow pre-dominates in the eyes,
Eyes that've seen much, tolerated much,
Eyes that've seen every loving touch,
The blackenend blood winds its way upto the poisoned heart
Sending pulses for it to relieve the body of any more misery.
People around me talk in some unknown language,
Unknown, or known, but seems to be unknown?
A svelte veil shields the animate from the inanimate
I ask slowly. "Is this what it feels like to be enlightened?"
A voice deep inside cogitates, and whispers,
"This is what feels like
Death."

I don't know what enlightenment feels like, but I can imagine it is a kind-of-death if you you think about it.
All that you have known, and once depended on to crry you through life suddenly is no more the foundtion. Now nothing is as it was or ever will be again.
I'd say it's a lonely road.
Yeah, but, some people take it as just another event in their life, the terminating event, and I'll do so too, not like running away & hiding from Death, as it is inevitable. Yeah, I know, I'll feel sad leaving all Earthly pleasures, but, then, I am determined to enjoy all that is there is to enjoy in my lifetime.

even u write it ths way but i almost can feel wht r u trying to tell...do u always fascinated wth dark side of our life?
Yeah, I like things associated with Death, darkness, grisly things in short, that's why people think that I'm insane. :)

I have felt somewhat like this before...but have never associated it with enlightenment or even death...
(and thanks for visiting my blog)
Hey, no formalities, sis.
I've felt it many times, but, I thought I would just imagine this thing to be associated with Death.

Dear Shadow, you simply can't enjoy
enlightenment, it's not an enjoyable state, it just is, the unknown.
Think of yourself on a far off planet in space with no way to get back to or even communicate with earth/another person. Watching reruns of hidious b-movies on a black and white with bad sound.
Could you handle it, and that is only a pathetic black and white concept, the reality would be unbelievably stark.
I think you'll have to get off that indian grass or whatever you're smokin'... it's clouding you conscious mind;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)
Painful imagery. :(
Lol @ Sean, finally you've abandoned your serious talk & saying something funny. :P
@ Deya,
I like to paint these kinda pics. :)

Death is enlightenment.

While I'm feeling generously witty.
Is there an ECHO IN HERE.
Just looking at nothingman's eye.
If you had a girlfriend and she had eyes like that you'd be in a state of non committal, for you'd get the distinct signal: she loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not, loves me CLICK!
I CLICKED OUT JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME I GUESS.
quite like it.
Not my kinda post
