A Hollow

I have a story to tell About an empty word Least some would surely say Until this story's heard Hollow's the word I speak of Something empty in a shell Just rap a hollow log Or sit on one a spell Hollow is an empty word At least that's how it seems Until you understand Just what all it brings Living in a hollow Or you may say a valley Understanding what it's like When hearing someone jolly There are so many things Though little brings a thrill Like hearing lovely echoes Coming from the other hill Now silence comes at night But birds will wake you in the day Though nothing causes fright As long as no one goes astray Now should you want some fun That will rock them there hills Just dynamite the hollow But watch out for the bills See living in the hollow Can be so very full It can be lots of fun Maybe even a little cruel One thing that it isn't Nor can it ever be Is void of Gods beauty Come take a look and see

A well written piece my friend. I once lived in a hollow world but it was not the same thing as your fine write describes. With help I moved away and all it took was to sincerely pray.
