Void

Small yet endless

A void surrounds.

Hard and helpless

To look for a sound.

Call still, to get someplace

Not biting cold

Let alone solace.

Deafening parties

to dance along

the noise and sounds

Of meaningless songs.

Night after night banquets prolong

Yet there rests

same hopeless long.

The void speaks none

You shall ask and mull

And wail and lull,

But void can’t hear

And questions reappear.

Like the wars of old

Our history always told.

It moves closer

As night grows,

It gets larger

As time flows.

Noting to embrace

Neither to accept

It is there is

A wide blank percept.

Present or not

Extant in thoughts.

hope to walk along

Without imploding distraught.
