Empty Space



An empty space
just summoning
will tease my mind
to paint anew
in runic signs
the morning hue.
*
Yet, nothing comes
for me to say
in rhythmic timing
all the while
how to compose
in peerless style.
*
How can I make
my readers heave
with ripping light
withdrawing night
announcing morning
with delight?
*
Oh, that's no reason
to ignore
the nascent longing
to combat
I see inside each
muses's path.
*
Perhaps it's all been
said before,
I say ahead
of an airy nap...
Each word that's caught
like fish in trap
must be set free.
