I contemplate nothingness
I awake to silence
I fall asleep in darkness
I drown in chaos
I disappear into thin air
I contemplate nothingness
I meditate on emptiness
Get caught in between
Where two thoughts meet
A void of peacefulness
An abyss of bliss
Black hole
Light is the purest form of energy
When transformed through your imagination
It can manifest into complete nonsense
I contemplate nothingness
I become what I ponder
I question our existence
I confuse my reality
Go beyond the point of all probability
I experiment,
I hypothesize,
I theorize,
Until I have exhausted all outcomes
Years have past
Since I've traveled last
And I return to memories
And in my mind I see
My past, present, and future be
And behold, my life, myself,
My world, my total existence
All makes sense
And then I walk down a distant path
And I see myself grow old
I contemplate nothingness
I embrace empty space
I absorb mind numbing stillness
I become what I ponder
Coming back I see my life
And my death
And I overcome
All fear
The world is known to me
And death is no longer a mystery
Now underground I exist
In shadows I feed
Off of scraps I thrive
Off of waste
I contemplate nothingness
I walk in openness
I carry the weight of my sins
And I wash them
In the blood of the sacrificial lamb
Now I pass through another passage
And I have learned the mysteries of the darkness
And I face the judgment of the scales
And I wait for justice to release my chains
And carry me home
I contemplate nothingness
I ease my soul in silence
I rest in the peaceful depths of my own mind
And I reside alone
Finally I see myself flying
I have wings like an angel
And I have new eyes
And new ears
And I can see clearly now
And I know his name
And he knows who I am
I contemplate nothingness
I meditate in silence
I overcome the world
And all existence

And you came back, more determined than ever. Your Vocabulary more rich and extensive. Plenty of wonderful, thoughtful lines, deep in context. Happy Birthday, my dear Reina, though you no longer consider me your king! I still remember you with much love and appreciation.
I can't say I really know what is going on this this piece, but I do like the way it reads and flows. I guess it is up to the imagination of the reader.
Even though it is rife with interpretations, the grammar must still be used properly. To that extent, I offer my suggestions:
"I drowned (should be 'drown', as the rest of the stanza is in present tense) in chaos"
"Years have past (should be 'passed')"
I am glad to see that you are writing again. I kinda like the way this one flowed. Just as I thought I knew what you were saying next, you surprised me!
Welcome back! It's the season to be inspired, eh?
Welcome !
