The Void – Delhi Poetry Slam

The Void

By Sanyogita Saxena

Only she can hear
The loud spaces in between
Understanding it with fear
Trembling down the feet

And it has opened
A whole new world
As she finds her way
Through the time curls

Each knowing
Gives a crystal dime
But that’s not enough
To unfold the void
She’s living inside

Step by step
Sensing it all
Gathering courage through fear
With each fall

And the spaces are now not loud enough
The fear somehow has gotten to the trough

And the only thing afloat
Is the will to get through
The time curls await
For her to breakthrough

Only she can hear
The loud spaces in between
Understanding it with fear
Rising up to get free
