Grandfather's Workshop I

I wake up in the Void...

Not mere blackness, as in the absence of light.
Not just pitch, as if my optic nerves had been deprived
of the sensory input of light but,
the true Nothingness.

Slowly, I realize I have thoughts.
"I am at the begining," I think. But something had come before.

I remembered plummeting, and I fell a long & shadowed way. I had fallen, first. Then I remembered rising, soaring, so that my heart felt near to bursting with the sublime.

And finally, I leveled in-between.
