Emptiness

The void beckons and emptiness, awaits Where what isn't, is greater than what was Where what is, becomes in part, what's not And what was, becomes a void that's not there A vacant spot at the table, a chair, empty

Oh...I agree so much with Andrea. This is profound...and so touching. You had me going to know...to understand...and in the end....to feel. Lovely in a sad way...Life is often full of sadness...but it is tempered with joy.
