cracks in the darkness

this space
silent
not even the humming
furnace
or the ticking
clock

this place
empty
dark
blank
nothing-
ness

this space
so rare
once common
this space
of not
anything

here with the
emptiness
the silence
see in the space
this moment
hold onto it

befriend
this space
it's darkness
it's silence
welcome it
tenderly

for it
never remains
the darkness
sitting here
slowly
the light comes

filters through
the cracks left
in the spaces between
what is
what was
what will be

the light comes
here in the darkness
in the silence
as you wait
though you must wait
and listen to the
silence of
this space
