Nothingness

whooooosh
goes the breeze
cruuuuunch
go the leaves
as they fall from the tops of the trees

i've made my home in the silhouette of a dying art-form.
laughter no longer shrill, but muffled and still.
my heart is on hold. for what you ask?
i know not.
go to HIM. for the answer, for the plot.


screeeeeeeeeeech
the cars come to a halt
boommboom,boomboom
the thudding of my heart

my vital signs indicate that my heart is still beating
i am still breathing
alive.

so, why do I feel like I'm dead?
surely, this is not what death is like.
i'm just trapped....trapped in this prison of a body.
flesh and bones
blood and sweat and tears
oh, that he may shine through the cracks and brokenness
God, may you fill me up as I pour you out.

for i am just an empty shell with out you.
apart from you, I am nothing.
