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
