In the vast expanse of life's hollow void,
An emptiness dwells, by shadows employed.
Aching echoes resound in the heart's abyss,
As dreams fade away, lost in the mist.

The clock ticks on, relentless and cold,
Time's cruel grasp, a story untold.
Aching souls wander, seeking solace and grace,
Yearning for meaning, a purpose to embrace.

In the laughter and smiles, a shallow facade,
Behind the facade, a desolate charade.
Empty masks worn, hiding the inner strife,
While emptiness consumes, like a thief in the night.

Yet amidst the void, a flicker of light,
Hope's fragile flame, burning ever so bright.
For within the emptiness, seeds of change reside,
A chance to find purpose, a reason to stride.

Embrace the silence, let introspection guide,
Seek the beauty within, where truths reside.
From the depths of emptiness, new life may bloom,
Transforming the darkness, dispelling the gloom.

So, do not despair in life's empty embrace,
For even in emptiness, there lies a space.
To create, to discover, to love and to be,
In this vast emptiness, a chance to be free.
