Emptiness - January 24, 2001

As night deepens
and the shadows soften in the moonlight
the howls of the wind oustide
disappear
into the gaping silence within.

The emptiness
consumes all thoughts
that might have been
silent echoes.

Realization
sinks like a leaden stone
falling faster and faster
into a bottomless maw.
