A vase empty of flowers
A day with no hours
A sea that brings in no waves
A cemetery lacking graves
A holiday without a memory
A lock that has no key
A pen ran out of ink
A philosopher who can’t think
A desert without a grain of sand
A palm that has no hand
A wound without pain
An effort ending in no gain
A furnace that provides no heat
A heart that refuses to beat
A victor who feels no glory
A novel that can’t tell a story
A fire without even one flame
A society with no one to blame
A man without a shadow
A man without a past
