A lone black hole
Void of spirit
Swallowing everything
That might be near it
The darkness evades
The lightness of life
Cutting it's way through
Like the blade of a knife
A light gentle wind
An invisible tunnel
Sliding us down
And in like a funnel
No other side
Daring you to start
Turning around
In the black hole of the heart
