nothingness

 
solace in nothingness in the color blue
there is no state of nothing
when you are aware
perhaps a state of emptiness is more apt
but feelings overwhelm  
and you know the truth
 
sorrow colors the soul
with sadness from your heart
you reach and don't find
the honesty of the moment
within your sacred halls die
 
wither a bit in the hurt
it cradles you for awhile then you burn
yearning for something illusive I wonder how long it lasts
when tears turn to ash
