the night sky, empty of all stars
arose from her rug of clouds
and whispered in the ears

nothing means nothing
echoing endlessly in the valley

nothing means nothing
nothing means nothing
nothing means nothing
nothing means nothing
nothing means nothing
nothing means nothing
nothing means nothing
nothing means nothing
nothing means nothing

there is a peace of emptiness
that passeth all understanding

empty of all sensation,
that lies bearing everything,

silent witness of the stars
the mute survivor of endless deaths.
Next up in the #Hermit series: a psychedelic echopoem, where the notion of emptiness is explored in its various nuances.

'Peace that passeth understanding' - famous allusion in The Testament: http://biblehub.com/philippians/4-7.htm
