Empty
There are no colours,
Time weights my lids.
And soon I see nothing more than time.
If you do not hold me,
I will be cold.
If you are not near,
How will I tell you all these things that I think?
There are no thoughts,
Dreams fill my brain.
Soon I, incapable of reason, will be permanently lost.
If you are not there,
I will be cold.
If you do not want me,
What use, all these things that I think.

Thank you Stephen for commenting ?
It is a thought of mine (though I may have heard similar elsewhere) that you have to go through a storm to find out what survives a storm.
And one of the answers, I now realise, is poetry.
