Poetry

By

Soren Paul Petrek

THE EMPTY SPACES

Life is highs and

lows and searching

For something wanted

something to be

Many can’t fill

the empty spaces

Needing sound

to dull thought

Sport to pretend

they’re winning

Empty is peace

and reflection

Nobody wants

anything from you.

BLANK

Empty pages unwritten

the pen picked up again

to no meaningful end

Wishes and dreams

void of substance flutter away

until they’re gone

Fashion to trend the chameleon

changes to fit a flavor

that will soon go stale

Blank yellow pages crumble

with age leaving the author

empty handed and wane

SAND HILL

A slippery twisted slope

that trees cling to

against the rain

The urge to slide

always present

cascading down

Whispers of grass

hold it back

against time

Charging down

to make it

flat
