Listen to poem:

Everything
Is under the shadow 
Of nothingness

The threat 
Of absence haunts
The human heart

Killing
Is the maceration 
Of connection

Yet everything
Dances
Between us

Colour
In vibrancy
Unseen

Music
To the ear
Unheard

Love
Lighting up
All darkness

Forgiveness
Fuel to furnace
This future

The depth of this very wise and meaningful poem really is impressive and got me thinking. So much is there hidden in shadows of nothingness but do we really see or hear? Love lights up darkness always, amazing how even the most darkest of skies can be lit up when love is present. Forgiveness is the way to move forward really, but do we forgive ourselves as we do for the rest? This has a philosophical touch! And really did connect with me and will do so for other readers too! Loved reading ths
