In absence

Deviant being bound in a body in a box
Sight to only behold stars by mind’s eye

Awaken to a desert
Dead oasis found in dreams

Nihilistic sense of zen
Nothing seen in everything

Essence purged through
By the thresh of the abyss

Confronted at once by life, death, self, my brother
Questions, experiences perpetuate each other

Answers abundant with none seeming true
Deep will would choose to create truth anew

In absence all is found
