The Void

So close, so sweet...
Yet so far and distant...
So beautiful, yet so dark...
Can anything be more desired?

A hollow tree, crackling in the blazin' sun.
A rock, steaming in the desert...

Beautiful, but meaningless....
Meaningless compared to the void.

Oceans of molten magna flowing beneath us with a sparkling flow...
The thought of a shower unbearable.

The moment of glory is thick, but meaningless.
Meaningless compared to the void.

For the void is all, all what could ever be,
all what ever was, all what never will be!
It's the future, the past and the present.
All sound numbed, all vision blurred, hapiness forever.
