I stand to find myself in this land of significant radiance
which seems to be an everlasting heavens
the clouds that hover in the radiant sky,the water that adrift as far as my gaze extends
that trenchant greenness that emphasises this barren land, upon which I stand now
watching its wilderness as winds purl by my burning shoulders.
The bare feet upon which I landed on this mortified land, start to anguish me as I try to take a step
yet I stand fortifying my slendered legs
gazing my thawing wings I take my first step on this barren land.
I turn around my head to see how this world that I have fallen is like
but my vision is blurred by a radiant light which manifests into a sphere of light
And it prophets: “Ye, who stumble upon the path that no soul from the heavens have dared to take till now,
listen, your advent in this world has now come. Ye,who have been cast out the heavens shall no longer be an angel,
thou shall be a human, a mortal that our lord has created.
Linger on this plane till your heart cedes out,
Walk past these sully planes till your feet worn you out,
Gaze on these heavenly and horrid views, that shall never cease to amaze our ruler in heavens!!
All I can see is the eternal abyss covered with a dark blanket. In that abyss I saw the silver lining. Pulling me towards it. Inch by inch. Heart by heart. Breath by breath I drew closer. Closer than a moment before. But alas! I wasn’t able to reach the sliver line. I hands were too shorts, my palms too timid to hold on to it.
But stop I didn’t. Clinching my teeth, bearing my wits, engraving my fury and agony to my fists I pummelled towards the light. In hope, so dope, that even I, the unworthy of light can have it too.
Was I wrong?
Or was I an epic dope of lady fortune
In this qualm, I suffered.
With this qualm, I stayed put in the blinding sky- Mortified!
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
