A moment of contemplation...

Gazing into emptiness,
Perspectives soar into oblivion,
The mind ponders,
Tears well within the heart,
The essence of the soul withers away.

Beyond the nothingness,
Despite all the attention,
One truly wonders,
How uncertainty takes one apart,
As I grasp at emptiness to find a way.

Somehow, sometime, somewhere...
It seems the soul is weary
It feels that time has claimed its place
Exuberance that once shone so bright
Seems to have faded apart.

Shall I paint the pictures in the sky?
Shall I seek a different path?
Shall I tread across this strange route?
If only I knew where I would traverse to...
