Mimicking Nothingness

by ddavidd   Jun 24, 2019


Thus,
whispered an hourglass in my ears:
No rock would ever survive the onslaught of time!
Everything solid constantly
turns to the sand,
nothing hard could forever withstand!

Everything must break and split to the dust.
Everything must
curtail and rust
invariably cleave, are sanded and sieved
to flow and thrust
to mimic the water
to mimic the gust
to mimic nothingness
in the quantum allocation
we encrust.

    What an inspiring poem. It's very philosophical too, and very sad.

    I think you should let go of article (the) in the following line [turns to the sand,]

    I think it would flow much better with the rest of your very silky lines. I love it!

      Yeah, don’t let go of the article. it changes the meaning. The article it’s needed in my opinion. Good read. Thanks for sharing.

    Liked the flowing feel of this and some great rhyming here. Really liked the "Everything must split to the dust, Everything must curtail and rust" Milly

    But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing, does it?
