Hollow place
just below the surface
of my heart
What are you trying to tell me
What emotion do you serve
What direction are you pointing
What motive makes you ascend
or do you descend
is it the grayness
is it the dark season
is it something more
or less
What is an ache
that is not an ache
What turbulence rises within me
What language do you speak
That I cannot translate
your meaning
or your origin
Where has the fullness and light gone
That once radiated with such certainty
is it only resting
to sort things out
Hollow place
just below the surface
of my heart
Deliver me unto a place
of understanding
