Shadows of Nothing
I turned there was nothing?
Yet
I felt something upon me or around me
I was lost to what it could be
Today
A shadow of nothing brush pass me.
It brief encounter was looking for me
But
I must be too lost for it to find me
For
It went away to claim another today within its darkness.
I carried on with whatever I had to do
But
I felt the need to seek out the shadow
As I walked around
I
Realize it was running from me.
I sit to ponder
The wind howl about me with message:
However,
I was too lost within myself to listen.
I rose to go home
Yet
I felt the looming desire to seek out the shadow of nothing
Why?
Can I not be happy within my miserable life?
Why must dance with the shadow of nothing?
Does it embrace me more than I can see?
The shadow of nothing is looming about my house
I enter with no fear.
I go on with nightly routine.
I sit upon my bed,
Tears begin to fall
I watch the flickering of light about my room.
I listen.
I wait.
I wonder why I am refusing to seeā¦..
See that shadow of nothing is my reflection in the mirror; I stare within it as I wait for death.
