I see it in the lonely glow of moonlight
I hear it on the solitary cry of the wind,
Circling me, enclosng me, surrounding me,
whispering secrets that I cannot understand.
There is something missing
Something I am longing for
I feel a need deep inside of me,
I don't know what for.
There is a terrible yearning in me, an aching,
Something is calling, silently begging me near,
Slowly tugging at my heart and soul,
beckoning me with a gentle but insistent hand.
I reach out, but, whatever it is,
it is always just beyond my grasp.
In despair I cry out,
but my cries break apart and scatter through the empty darkness.
I call it Emptyness
