Beacon of Absence

I am a lighthouse in the sand

No ships to guide, no sea, no land

My beam reveals what isn’t there

Mirages lit by vacant air

The Loud Whisper

I am the silence that can shout

A whisper loud, a voice without

I speak in hush that shakes the air

A thunder clothed in quiet prayer

Frozen Fire

I burn with frost, a freezing flame

A blaze that chills, but feels the same

I melt the ice to make a spark

Yet leave the wood forever dark

Time’s Illusion

I am a clock that ticks in reverse

A future lost, a past dispersed

My hands erase what once was dreamed

An ink unseen, where nothing’s schemed

The Answerless Riddle

I am the riddle never asked

A truth that hides behind it’s mask

The answer lies in not to know

Belief in doubt is what I sow

Mirror of the Unseen

I am the mirror none can face

Reflecting void, erasing trace

The self dissolves when it’s sought

A shadow born of lightless thought

Meaning’s Paradox

I am the metaphor that bends

Where meaning breaks and never ends

I speak of all, yet say no thing

A silent song the void can sing

Abyss of Reflection

I am the ocean deep with mind

Where thoughts are waves that twist and wind

Each current pulls what reason knew

Into the depths where truths undo

The Tail That Thinks

I am the thought that never started

A loop that breaks and soon departed

Each line I speak unravels me whole

A metaphor chasing it’s own soul
