Emptiness
of shattered meaning,
A shadow
with no feeling,
It is worthless
like the number zero,
A desert
that is tremendously
hollow,
It is a chant
that cannot be heard, or seen
with mere ears and eyes,
Because it is an extinct identity
trying to hide,
It is all five senses
losing itself to a black hole
Because emptiness
is no longer a whole,
What is that word? ...
you see, it has lost its definition,
shape, form, and color
is forgotten through repetition,
It's a mirror full reflected dusk
A wind
That has stopped it's gust,
And yet is free
From the horrendous gravity
because it is positively absolutely
nothing.
