Look up and see
nothing but emptiness,
gaze around to see
the pecks of light
shining in emptiness.

All is silent,all
is mystery.
Nothing is everywhere,
when everywhere is
nowhere.

A whisper is all it
takes to destroy my
emptiness. A human
is all it takes to
re-create a scenery.

In perfect harmony
everything, that was
nothing will be destroyed.
