Befuddled
      (as if)
I was walking on the rain

The rain
     (so cold)
Was it fog or the
     (formation)
of another
     (lost)
and listless soul

Even snow
     (falling)
would be warmer than this

I speak of the
     (blackness)
far beyond the absence
of the light

Truly staggering the
    (immensity)
of the nothingness
that swallows whole
everything in sight

Jesus walk upon the water
I just walked upon the rain

Yet he stood upon the
    (firmament)
I just stood upon it's
     (soaking)
pain
While sitting one night , in the dark , in total silence , I was suddenly engulfed by a blackness far beyond that of any emptiness I had ever experienced . Was it what death would be like ? All I know that in it nothing exists at all . Nor even any light .
