A way out there poem about the space between life and death and what we do with it.

-Silence Nowhere-

Shush
Out there
Silence nowhere
Do you hear it
Listen with intent
Hear each void
Every empty space
Know what it means
Understand how it screams
Dare not be afraid
Fear, such a childish game
Enslaving those who play
Binding them to an ideal
And an unrealistic plea
Forgiveness
Their greatest concern
Such a thing is to be given
By who is subject to belief
Belief, a backwards stream
Against itself it flows
They are always doing what they can
Always doing what they wish
One hand washes the other
One soul damages another
I won’t play, abundantly I refuse
Those profound with clarity
And mired in causality
Know that there is more
And at the same time
That there is absolutely nothing
Just an ever-expanding wilderness
Of unobscured blackness
A place that they can go
A shape that they can call home
Shush
Out there
Silence nowhere
Do you hear it
Listen with intent
Hear each void
Each empty space
Fill them with screams
Or usher in your belief
To nothing it matters none
You will not be judged
You will not be crucified
You will be accepted
You will be given access
Unparalleled interaction
Create within the space
And if need be
Destroy all that you hate
Nothing is bound by itself
And absolutely nothing else
You are bound only by interpretation
Perception is the only god of such a paradox
Build the world up with your imagination
Then lay it to waste through change
Play your own intoxicating game
Be the master of the rules
Because it allows you alone to choose
And one thing I know beyond all else
Is that life is all about choice
And the resulting actions and or inactions
With regard to the spaces between…
