Void

no light
yet darkness, neither
enters my eyes
or my mind

the world is silent
nonexistent
vanished
like a puff of smoke

my fingers are numb
or gone
no ground beneath my feet
or wind in my face

all is nothing
and nothing is all
floating
in an endless void

yet, my mind wanders
and wonders—
and fear
mustn't settle in
