Oblivion
the music fills the room
with the sounds of
sadness
and prosperity
like it is its last chance to play
to strain for a melody
before it reaches a breaking point
and dies out
until it is granted permission
to play one last tune
much simpler
than this
and the voices fill the void
with the sounds of
serenity
and desperation
in an attempt to be heard
but overcome by
gusts of wind
and flurries of snow
before they fade out
because they can no longer be
heard
and the words sound from the pages
full of
significance
and life
pleading to be heard
but overcome by
the tearing of pages
ripping over
and over
until there are no more pages
to be torn
and the music
and the voices
and the words
have gone
down
down
down
into a hole of oblivion
until there is
nowhere
nowhere
nowhere
left for them to go.
