When I Looked Into The Sky

Heio! This is a basic little poem I wrote for my world building project^ I hope someone finds it interesting.

When I looked into the sky,

I saw an endless field of blue.

Littered with the white fluffy clouds, which I had not seen for so long.

I saw a sun, glowing a bright yellow that seemed so foreign yet so familiar.

When I looked into the sky,

I felt the wind gently blow upon my face

And I felt the grass beneath my feet.

When I looked into the sky,

I noticed birds that flew high above my head.

Birds which had not flown in so long.

When I looked into the sky,

I heard a voice from behind me.

It spoke in a soft tone, and when I turned to look, I saw a young woman standing in the field alongside me.

When I looked upon her face,

I saw pale skin that gave off little reflection.

When I looked upon her clothes, I saw a black dress

Which seemed to absorb all light that hit it.

When I looked into her eyes,

I saw a vast sea which seemed to continue far beyond infinity.

And the woman asked me:

"Are you what you are?"

Confused, I asked the woman what she meant,

She simply repeated the question and said:

"Are you what you are?"

Confused once more, I answered with a yes.

The woman turned away without a word.

When I looked beyond her,

I could see the field upon which we stood continuing far past the limits of what I could see.

And I asked the woman:

"Where are we?"

The woman answered in the same soft tone as before:

"We are nowhere and everywhere."

I asked her what she meant, for I could not comprehend such a thing.

The woman turned around to face me once more

And pointed behind me.

When I looked into the sky, I saw an endless field of red

And I saw a crack in the very sky itself.

I asked the woman what had happened

And she replied that the sky had been shattered by the actions of man.

I asked her to elaborate

And she told me to look at her.

When I looked back towards the woman,

I did not see her.

Before me, there was a hole in the heavens itself

Which radiated a black energy that bent the air around it.

I asked the woman what it was that appeared before me

When, from next to me, I heard her voice say:

"This is the creation of your kind."

Drawn in by the creation that had seemingly cracked the sky,

I got closer.

When I reached the creation, I looked within it.

And inside it, I saw an infinity,

An entire universe locked within.

Within the universe, I saw several more creations like the one that I was staring into.

Within the universe, I also saw life,

Life, which had existed for eons

I asked the woman who now stood behind me how this could have cracked the sky.

And she replied:

"When I created man, I had done so that mankind could create what I could not."

When I asked the woman what she meant, she answered:

"Perfection."

But how could a being who could not create perfection create something to do that very task?

I looked back upon the woman.

When I looked into her eyes,

I saw a deep sadness.

One that continued far beyond the reaches of possibility or reason.

Even so, I saw that beyond the vast sadness,

There was a light.

When I looked into the sky,

I saw a sun.

Bleeding red with the blood of all who had looked into the abyss and learned the truth.

Whilst the blood seeped into the sky, contaminating all that was once pure,

I saw the woman smile while tears began forming in her eyes.

When I asked the woman what was happening

She replied:

"All which has, and will be, shall cease to exist. And only I shall remain."

When I asked why this was happening,

The woman replied: "So that you may tell your kind what they have done."

When I looked into the sky,

I saw an endless field of blue.

Littered with the white fluffy clouds and a sun that glowed in a warm golden yellow.

And that was when I knew:

That the Sky had not yet broken.
