Without But Within

within the void of nothingness
is where we sleep every night,
pilgrims of the dreamy dark
and it unremembered journeys;
within the sacred emptiness
solace is forced upon us when
all the bizarre experiences, our
immature souls encounter,
greet us there unexpectedly;
life extends herself there as
she spins the story forwards,
backwards, and to both sides,
cleverly daring us to wake up;
and, some do but many not,
and we move forward with
Zombie like behavior and not
understanding why we all
became so apathetic without.
