how do I compare a thought that isn't there an absence of words something so absurd yet profound I dig deeper down only to find a lack of sound lack of how or why this fleeting feeling is thin as smoke I grasp for it with clenched fingers further away it floats on by eluding me it lingers further away this hope I'm searching for casts me out to sea a hundred times more until my last and final breath I'll keep swimming towards the shore pushing forward until I return to the source and soul departs rips a part the hardest part is trying to describe an empty aching hollowness from syllables that once died somewhere between barriers brain and tongue graveyards of songs that will remain only a hum unravel this winding web I'm alone in my head again
