empty thoughts

between the stars, nothing's there
much like a daydream's stare,
an empty grave of dreams
that decompose into...soulful sighs
~whispers that can almost be heard
in a space full of everything
we want to know - but fear to hear...

Oooo... somewhat a cautionary warning... you don't know what you will become aware of, if you but stop and listen! Beautiful! Xo

Dear Craigsz, In few words youv expressed and delivered one that truly made me feel alot! “ an empty grave of dreams” that line! So good! I dont know how you come up with such lines but that line stood out for me, “ we want to know - but fear to hear.” so true, and so much wisdom and words of a poetic philosopher i see through this! I love this! As it resonates. As always evocative too. And is a fave! Hope you are doing well. Sending you light always
