Empty Room

In this empty room

My soul resides

Meows echo

Into cold night

Sad howl

For a bit of love

I make space

for eternal now

Empty room

Like my void

inside

and outside

within

and without

I live and I cry

And once I

will die

but until then

my light

will make everything

shine

This empty room

is filled with

stuff

Xmas tree

Xmas lights

Lots of Xmas stuff...

Books,

Portraits, photos,

pillows & plants;

A guitar,

candles, drawings,

notebooks, fitness bands,

yoga mat,

cookie jar

Chewbacca,

Totoro.

Beta

...

lots of food

in the kitchen

lots of clothes

...

useless stuff.

All of it

Seems like

Adding purpose

To my life

Something to care for

Something to care with

Something to learn

Something to hug

It takes space

from the room

trying to fill

the void

what money

cannot buy

anyway?

Love?

Love

That my cat

so desperately

asks for?

Love

That makes me

write this

down?

Love

When we

Let ourselves

Do

Whatever we

Want to

Do

And be

Free

That is

Love

And I

Want

To

Fill

My

Empty Room

with it.
