Much ado about something or other

Terameter sonnet

 

Much ado about something or other

 

An absence is hard to define

A nameless shape without a form,

 an emptiness left by design

A task nobody can perform.

Using words which are meaningless

 just strung together as a string

Poetic words which would impress

 if only they meant anything.

Without a message to convey

they merely occupy some space.

To put it in a different way

 the kind of words one should erase.

I think I may have lost the plot

 because these word don’t mean a lot.

Oh, but they mean so much more than even you realize. Even in the chaos, there is always a way to find calm. Even in a mumble, jumble of random words there can be meaning.
