NOTHING
Nothing
By Peter Marshall
I stepped into an Abyss
And found I didn’t fall
And I could not feel cold nor hot
And couldn’t touch a wall
Looking up towards the top
I couldn’t see the ground
There was no smell within my hell
And there was not a sound.
No tactile touch upon my skin
No pleasure or no pain
And not a single active thought
Did stir within my brain
