Darkness to darkness,
filled with utter silence.
No one is cold
No one is warm.
Sensitivity lurks in all of them,
empathy is those who possess power.
But no one can speak,
their minds completely blank.
So they roam the labyrinth,
when the feel fear of a chasm.
They constantly whisper,
the maze has no end...
The maze has no end.
Emotions of all sorts are in their hearts,
all but one remained calm.
The light opened and asked for a liability,
over the years and fertility.
The one ask the question repeatedly,
“Was anyone sane!”

The author's comments:
Looked at the night sky, and pictured a maze. And how insane everyone goes, after something so abnormal occurs.
