... and after years in dark tunnels 
he came to silence 


there was nothing... 


he realised that the cheering cries of worship 
were but echoes of his harsh outspoken word 
reflecting back at him from cold and naked walls 
in hollow circles fled illusions of wisdom he had heard 


"From nothing came all I ever knew" 


and he beheld the ruins 
of an empire torn apart 
yet, no grief nor rage did bind him 
just silent and bewildered 
by the emptiness 
he stumbled off his throne 


suddenly, the walls around him cracked wide open 
and an endless void appeared in flickering, grey light 
"What force, but silence, has deprived me of my coil? 


No trail to guide me. No point of reference in sight." 


"By nothing, resurrection will be pure." 


and he beheld the ruins 
of an empire torn apart 
wiping dust off his shoulders 
just silent now 
in this emptiness 
leaving all behind 


step by step 
past all past 
slowly he approached the surface 
nothing left 
to sacrifice 
the mirrors mocked him on the way
