Hey y'all!

I was just curious -- what's your favorite poem, and why? What about it resonates with you?

@agnesisokay it's gonna sound weird, but the minecraft end poem 😅. Something about it just really hits home for me.

"The darkness you fight is within you."

"The light you seek is within you."

"You are not alone"

"You are not separate from every other thing"

"You are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself"

"Everything you need is within you"

"You are stronger than you know"

"And the universe said I love you"

I'm not sure what it is about it, but I've always been comforted by the idea of the universe being so so incredibly vast that my very existence is irrelevant to it, but at the same time, I am a culmination of thousands of years of humanity, my atoms once belonged to stars, I am part of the universe, as is everyone else.

There's something about the poem that feels like a higher being smiling down upon you.

And I know it's just a minecraft poem, but I really like it x

@agnesisokay,

I made this one a year ago.

Will You take me home?


Away from those nightmares who roam


Away from the scariness of their throne


Please, will you take me home?


I mustn't not stay a while


For the breeze, it will catch you vile


Will you take me home?


The fire has started dwindling


I’d best not be caught mingling


Will you take me home?


Oh however so I will bore you


Oh your thoughts of me will be true


Will you take me home?


Oh how tired have I been


My house is just along the bend


Will you take me home?


In truth I must truly tell


You will not think of me well


I beg you take me home


I wish not stay any longer


For the pain I’ve felt is not but somber


Just take me home


Oh how dull my eyes

Oh how heavy is my voice


You must take me home


This weary world puts its weight upon me and it burns


The stares, the glares, I feel no reassurance


Take me home


Oh but perhaps I could stay a little longer


If not what do I but ponder


Take me home


I will just be a burden


All this pain I feel it hurts


Take me home


Oh the scars, the wounds the blisters


All of those looks, that gossip, those whispers


Just take me home


You wish not bear what resentment lies


Of the talking children that spy


I will ask only once more, take me home


The pain I feel, is to great to continue


Wash away my sorrows, until desire nor virtue


Until the blackness of the night


Swallows me up without a fright


TAKE ME HOME
