Empty

Therein lies potential alone
consciousness yet unconceived
One shadow shared by none
uninhabited
Without habitat
or need for one
Attended only by absence
no echo of nothing said
Neither war nor peace
nothing bled
Without a cause, even waiting withers
Nothing born; nothing dies
No truth; no lies
Embrace the Void
