Void

There is that momentary pause
 a second or two locked in hidden space,
 darkness, calling out from somewhere
 lapses of the uninhabitable reality
 in the in-betweens;
we cannot help but enter in
 escaping what lay behind
 what waits ahead
 all that haunts the now
 the blank void that is nullified;
the quiet stillness
 of emptiness here, 
 the chasmed abyss of nothing
 the journey into lost time
 over there, beyond.
