The Empty Abyss
The world spins, confusion in the fog
That refuses to lift, day and night
Not a clear answer can be seen
An obstacle course to get through
One thing at a time, seeking to find
A string of hope here and there
- A touch of breeze -
- A ray of sunlight -
- A pretty flower -
Holding onto any reminder of simplicity
To comfort the restless, lost, soul
Love is at a distance, unreachable
As the walls get higher and higher
Fear clutching every ounce of being
- Trapped by doubt -
Loneliness then paralyzes the soul,
Where spinning stops, in the empty abyss
