Poetically Prompted

Out of reach

Elusive, illusive,
is that even a word?
If it isn't real,
or it can't be felt,
is it something to catch?
Is it possible to have
a nothing thing?
No words for it, no image, no mass.
The idea itself cannot be grasped.
Forever out of reach because it isn't real.
Or is it real?
Are we just lacking?
