Silence

Nothing

Nothing, not a vibration made,

Alone

Utterly alone, not a breathe, not a whisper

Stripped

Even the wind has been stripped away

Stone

Stone cold silence echoes without sound

Emptiness

I stretch forward in the emptiness for something that does not exist

Quiet

I scream but the quiet fills my lungs and I choke

Frozen

Even my heart is frozen

Death

I am dead as a stone.
