Nothingness

An abyss I see at a distance,
Mocking at the beam of light.
It knows not the splendid dream
It surrenders to the crave, within.

It nods in approval to the failed saints
Their penance count only in the heaven.
They rush, they pray, they give away in dismay
It’s poise strengthens the will to depart.

An abyss I see at a distance
Watching scornfully, the saga of survival.
It cares for its reign and so shall you see
While it provokes the serene mind.


It gathers dust and smoke under the sun,
And lauds the martyrs with contempt.
They reach the crest and fade away
So, it dances for the rueful song.

I stand and stare at the abyss
As it triumphs over me.
It is no more at a distance
It’s now fueling its glory.
