I gaze into the void, snowy with emptiness.
It sneers at me as I try to fill it.
It consumes my every word and reflects it back.
With a sad farewell, my words fall into the void, which renews itself.
Another blank void, another world to write, another civilization to crumble, another
moment of art seeps into the void. It hungers. It wants my life in words.
I can’t help but give it everything
in hopes to turn this to a war of attrition, to fill it forever I give my heart.
But it’s never satiated.
It’s better this way.
I never knew
how my life words 
can fill the void if only a moment,
I could never grasp
how deep, how vivid,
my heart runs
