Nothingness

For some reason I decided not to write.

There wasn't anything different about the day 

or the air.

It was an intentional decision

Poignant and from the heart. 

And I decided not to post. 

Many eyes were upon me and I responded 

To nothing no one and 

Nothingness.

Intentional 

Very intentional indeed. 

I parted a farewell

A very fond farewell.

It wasn't that I couldn't write. 

I knew there were words forming in my head. 

I just simply chose to not put them upon the paper. 

I walked alongside the ocean

And I heard the screams

Telling me to toss them in

Everyone of them

And I silently listened

To the roar and the pounding surf

And I obeyed to the christening of the folds 

And the panting of the water. 

As it beckoned me. 

I thought at that moment I would toss in the words

and I would never hear from them again. 

And peace enveloped my soul. 

Another season has passed 

And I am calling upon the words

The sensitivity

As I so keenly need to listen 

and hear them chant once more.  

What I thought I had lost

Has now remained. 

And I must tune my ear to the cry once again

The pounding of the surf

The sand beneath my feet. 

No more. 

Nothingness again is calling to me
