Absence of Words

We are trapped in infinitum

Swirling whirlpools, timely decay

Reach out to grasp the present

It slips through your fingers

Every time

 

Fight against the endless days

We but only glimpse forever

A stain upon the endless sea

Compete with existence

Rage against complacency

 

We are trapped in infinitum

Gasping for air in our pocket universe

Existence is a bitter tasting seed

One that plants itself

From the first breath to the last

 

Rage

Rage against the dying light

Or it will consume you

With the absence of words

There is only silence
