Thomas Wells Poet Free verse

This Page Is Intentionally Left Blank

This page is intentionally left blank.
It is intentional, 
a deliberate attempt act of obscurity.
These are the words you are not reading.
These words do not exist.
Their appearance exists nowhere,
They are ghostly and untouchable.
They are empty invisible vessels,
Voids, absent content.

Your brain is intentionally left blank.
You only think you are thinking.
You are not thinking.
Your thoughts cannot be traced.
The mind on which you rely
cannot be found.

Your passions are intentionally left blank.
You cling to incorporeal beliefs
 and judgements.
Your hopes and dreams,
Your loves and hates have no essence. 
They are disembodied and intangible.

You create your own meaning
and order.
You impose it on all your blank pages.

Anil Deo June 14, 2020 at 12:04 PM I thank Connie and you, Dr. Wells. I thought it was a New York Times equivalent, in grief. This is superior by far. I wish I had opened on it last week (I apologize sir.) Shalom, Paz, & Bless your Heart. anil deo Thomas Wells June 14, 2020 at 1:15 PM Hi Dr. Deo, No worries and no apology is necessary.
