Void

Through the grey walls and white sheets Void spreads out It moves in open circling the snow covered mountain peaks Settles upon the shadowy darkness of cedar and pine In quiet it moves among creatures of night and beasts of forest With thoughts and sensations buried deep Mind resembles like a stretch of parched land When void takes hold of consciousness. ************************************************* The vast blue space So pleasant to look at In its void hang the sun and moon In the darkest hour of night Stars play upon its bosom In its emptiness it embraces thunder and lightning And gives clouds space to float around The void in my heart appears like a faded tapestry In the fragile weft of memory I search for your image.
