Ode to Nothing
Richie G ( 6th Grade )
An old , empty barrel Sitting at the bottom Of the stairs , Now just a part of The background . A black , stained glass cup in the kitchen , Casting a long shadow on the Marble countertop , Waiting to be filled But knowing it never will be . A hole in existence , Traveling around the universe , Searching for somewhere to belong . A gaping space , Filled to the brim with absence . An ancient , unsolvable riddle That gets harder the more you try To solve it . A great blade , Endlessly slicing through reality . Or perhaps , it is simply nothing .
