The Absence of Words

sylviasearcher

Is it silence I hear tearing inside?

Emotional aphonia?

You would think from Nothing

It would be easy to hide.

 

Is it a blank page I squint as I read?

Delusional apophonia?

The Everything of Nothing

Never planting a seed!

 

What is it that becomes of Nothing?

Paremenides' dichotomy?

The Nothing that never was

Ever present ever living

 

Ever searching ever lost.

 

So I started here with Nothing

Did I end losing even that?

Is the absence of Nothing greater?

How can I end my self driven spat?

 

If nothing to noone never can be?

What is this nothing I constantly see?

        It goes in waves don’t you know.
        Feeling
        Unfeeling
        Everything
        Nothing
        Too much
        Never enough
