A Hollow Nothing

While the raging fire burns down the earth I cocoon myself beside an imaginary hearth Dreaming of rains to douse the fire ‘It won’t be there’, my hopes aspire! While the tides sweep lives away I imagine I can forever stay Hidden from the tongues in lashing motion Beneath a placid and protective ocean! While the storm roars and the gale hisses I pray for God’s grace and good wishes To save me come what season ‘I must live whatever the reason’! Living thus in an imaginary land Building castle in the drifting sand I turn a moron selfish and mean A hollow nothing beyond bone and skin!
