The Void

Darkness,
Hushed silence,
Dew laden petals,
Swaying in the breeze.

"Hello" I shout,
into the starry night sky.
Echoing, reverberating,
it returns, that same cry.

"Hello" "Hello" "hello"
The wind mocks my pleas,
Tossing them around,
heedless of their fragility

Emptiness forever and on,
in this vast plane of space.
Surrounded and enclosed,
i'm suffocating in its embrace.

Smothered against its bosom of eternity,
time moves on yet does not change.
the night sky beings to lighten,
yet darkness still reigns.

Alone in this void,
My eyes open and wide, unstaring.
too long have I stayed,
my heart continues to beat, uncaring.

Darkness,
Hushed slience,
Dew laden petals,
Swaying in the breeze.
