The Student Of Eternity, Me Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Finding residence within myself
Traveling onward towards another dimension
Where this soul feels right at home
Being incompletely fulfilled
In a infinite feeling
Of great belonging
Feeling the truest of freedom
As these dreams they keep
Giving to these times
All the way into the great beyond


Like two sets of suns and moons
Going opposite ways
Showing how days and years
Were always just figment
To what purpose lies
In the basking of
Inner deep dwellings
Upon presidencies happening
Elongating all meaning
And so forth
To distances
Never ever seized before



And I am a student of this enigma
Celebrating in awe of this mystery
Relishing this travel
Into the great beyond
Not knowing any patterns
Feeling rather jovial
That nothing typical exists
From here on out



The weight will be gone
And I will be light
To this great enlightening
Someday, way down
This current spiraling road


Only to go beyond any height
In which I have never seized before


There is no anxiety and fear
In this soul, alone



The more time goes by
The body is not as important
As it was so long ago



When fate calls me
It will be then that
I will finally go to
Where I have always truly belonged



I we will be welcomed home
With open arms


My final destination
Is endless
When I enter the great beyond



But before then
I know that I have so much to learn
In this current fleshly form
That stands before everyone



To coexist is to exist
In these trying times
As this cocoon existence
Will teach this soul
How to fly with ease
When it is my time to go



Someday, all will be much better
This I truly know


For now
Here I am
Trying to adapt
To a chaotic world



Somehow, I will leave my mark


Right, I have no idea what to do


But someday,
Who knows?
What will become of me?
In this form you see before you



I am so proud
Of this alien soul
As it teaches me to adapt
To when the beyond comes forth
And takes me home


This flesh may be a handicap
To this enduring soul


But in the end
It will teach me
That ego has no place to go
No matter where it thinks it's headed



I am just me
That is all


Someday, I will be humbling through
The great beyond


Till then
I should not let life
Take its toll


The future is bright
And when time comes
I will finally come home


Then, when all is said and done
And I go beyond and more


I will then learn
I was never truly alone


Here is to my unbridled thoughts
Preparing myself for the great unknown



Life is rented
So our souls can buy themselves
The best of homes
A journey towards unlimited roams



I am you
We are all different
But all share this journey
To great beyond



Love is the religion we all share as one
Yet, when all is said and done
Our paths are different
But we are all on the same road
If that does not make any sense
Maybe nothing should



I just want to live my life
Like I never lived it before




All for my deep within
My ever guiding light
My truest of existence,
This soul



Maybe I was home all along?
