There's an Emptiness Within Each One of Us
There's an emptiness within each and every one of us, a chasm of starless night. We are vacant snowflakes, drifting aimlessly, souls drifting in the hemisphere. There is a garden, sleek and poised, poignant epitaphs, strewn, scattered like glitter; tears may flow, within seasons, but they too shall pass, we will all be forgotten in time. There's an emptiness within each and every one of us, a chasm of starless night; the waves shall caress our bones with lullabies, the birds shall serenade our souls.
