I awaken with a start and the hollow place calls to me
Like caves of barren soil my mind searches for the light
My breathe steady and shallow like some sleeping creature
Yet fully awake
The hollow place demands my attention as I try to push it aside
Begging it to go away, to leave me alone, to settle somewhere
it haunts me all the day,
long like a burden of unbearable weight
Oddly light, not as a feather but as a child
The hollow place calls deep to my soul, stirring my heart provoked by
Nothing, hidden to the world it remains ever present and alert
