empty corridor

sitting here
the chair tilted at this angle
i see
reflected on the window pane
the entire stretch of an empty corridor.

surely,
a great omen.

when you strike the empty state, you realise the silence in you--sometimes like a flash--its like sighting the star suddenly, isn't it? then you know you are not in the turmoil around you. :)
