crypts hold things of insignificance
empty vessels discarded for a greater reality
crypts are but silent watchers
of what lies rotting left behind

i choose not to enter their sanctum
for nothing is of revelance
the resounding darkness holds no value
the quiet
screams to be left alone

    NIce piece, leave the past in the past, it bares no significance for the future….Great piece butchart. I guess to be forgotten is greater death…..and fear.
