Interlude of the Void

By Eric

Speak
Speak a word
Until its been spoken too much

Play
Play a note
Until its played for too long

Feel
Feel the fringe of existence
Until every nerve across the vastness of body has been touched for too long

See
See red mix with blue
Until all has turned to gray

Hear
Hear the last note
Until silence consumes the lingering strands of sound

Exist
Exist to cease
Cease to exist

All is one
In the end

Wow. Can I ask what inspired this poem? I love it! "Until every nerve across the vastness of body has been touched for too long" The poem is simple and THAT'S what makes it genuinely beautiful... +Hannah+
