Space filler

fluff

whatever it is

that you'd call it.

No matter how well-known

intelligent, profound

we all tend to fill

the empty spaces.

With words,

written on paper.

Words

spoken in silence.

Noise

when peace would do.

Not all silence is

awkward.

Not all white space

is in need of

color.

Sometimes the absence

of color

of words

is part of the artwork,

adds to the discussion.

Sometimes it's empty for a

reason

but by filling it

we'll never know.


The author's comments:

We live in a world full of words, talking, singing, arguing. Sometimes we need to just step back, take a breath, and enjoy a moment of silence.
