Taedium Vitae

A state of nothingness
So shallow, yet so deep
Looking far beyond
Only for trifle to unfold

A state of quelling
And yet still deafening
Cadence of the pulse
Yield strident din

A state of solitude
So tranquil, yet so disturbing
There are thoughts and ideation
But none of vigor

A state of power...
... So meek, yet so puissant


- Lia (Notes from the Attic)
