in empty spaces, the stillness reigns
a silence that overtakes and maintains
no sound, no fury, no restless pace
an open slate, a peaceful space
no footsteps echo, no voices sound
just quietness surrounds and astounds
the emptiness breathes, the stillness sings
a natural wonder, where time stands and clings
a sanctuary of calm, a refuge of peace
a haven for thoughts and dreams to release
a place to reflect and ponder on life
a space that can cure all worries and strife
emptiness may seem dull and plain
but in its stillness, we find a sustain
a pause to quiet our rushing minds
an emptiness that transcends and unwinds
