The Bridge Between the Void

We live in a gap between two empty spaces The space behind grew age on elders faces The space in front carries the wake of our motion Neither void can we ever truly perceive Because the space between we can never leave Yet we still try to elucidate That empty and mysterious state Prophets and photographs Try to capture true future and true past But words are forgotten and photos don’t last Though we haven’t a hint of what we send our young to Please try to travel sine metu In the voids lacuna We contemplate events Because we can never leave the present tense
