The Epic Journey of All Things

Everything has a journey and a story. A beginning and an end.

"The Epic Journey of All Things"

By...Christian Gallagher

In the beginning...

...the ending begins

For all things

In between

Is the evolution

In the character
Of the soul

 

Within it

Exists a story

Untold

Longing

To be read

 

Its pages

Written...

In pain

In love

With blood & tears

Deserves

To be spoken

 

Each a

Unique singularity

Its importance

Spread universally

Binding us together

 

Everything shares

The pilgrimage

Of flesh

And dust

Of life

And death

 

As we join in...

 

The epic journey of all things.

Some life journeys burn bright like giant meteors flying past a super nova . Others are more of a hungover stroll to 7/11 for beer and lotto tickets. Which one we take ain't necessarily up to us save the decisions we make at ppivotal moments in life that we didn't realize were all that important. Kinda like playing with Legos with your eyes closed, when you finally open them you look at your creation and think "what in the hell is that? "

[Chris Micha]

Everything is a journey... Thanks for making mine epic bae

[Chris Micha]

We do this together, as one!

[SpeedyHobbit Armstrong]

This was a beautiful poem about how we all live an epic journey in our own heads as we forge a path through life. However, you do not take an excessively idealistic approach as you point out the transient nature of life and how not even the universe itself is immortal with the line ," In the beginning ...
...the ending begins
For all things"

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much! I am glad you got the simplicity of it and that the universe has an expiration date too. :)

[Amber Weldon]

Wonderfully written! It makes me want to read more! It would be an excellent beginning to a story

[Chris Micha]

Thanks so much Amber. I am honored you enjoyed it. :)

[Bri]

This poem of yours reminds me of those ancient Greek Philosophers, and Geometers who worshiped the circle. It goes without saying that every beginning point on a circle is its ending point. Also, each and every point of an infinite number of points on a circle would destroy the continuity of that entire circle if it were missing, and this shows us how important each point is. Here we have the epic journey of each point.

[Chris Micha]

This review in itself is a great piece of philosophy, your words couldn't be any truer. Life & death is a circle, both crossing at a point, and both infinite. Very wise words that I am honored to have read!

You're welcome!

I love the concept you're working with here.
It's rare to find someone who explores our existence in such a deeply meaningful way. The existentially inclined are often too enamoured with their own intellect to bring us close to the ground as you did, and so many poets, so many poems are dedicated to life's banal desires.

That said, I wouldn't have minded a bit more imagery.

Good luck on your epic journey, man.

[Chris Micha]

I am honored sir! I too, think it could use more imagery and I might address it later on. I really appreciate your view point and I thank you!

[just Penny]

This is deep and philosophical about the whole purpose / meaning of existence. Took me a while to get past the opening lines as they were so good and really got me thinking on whether I agree, if not, what is the alternative. I do agree, apart from perhaps the construct some call a "soul" but that's a whole other topic.. the poem is carefully considered and well written. Impressive ! Penny

[Chris Micha]

Penny, thank you for that amazing review. I would love to hear your take on the soul, I imagine it's cool. :)

[CoraZanini]

Again,amazed with simplicity and message. We are all unique,we are all our own stories,our own journeys and battles.Keep on!

[Chris Micha]

Wow I am truly honored you would say that. It honestly means so much to me! Thank you Cora!!

[Kim]
