Emptiness

A song without a soul.
A race without a goal.

A star without a twinkle.
A worry without a wrinkle.

A poem without words.
A warrior without swords.

A captain without a ship.
A tormentor without a whip.

A heart without a beat.
A magician without a feat.

A bird without wings.
A country without kings.

A clock without hands.
A rockstar without bands.

A boat without sails.
An author without tales.

A child without a toy.
A smile without joy.

A noose without a rope.
A monk without hope.
