Void

 A young man 

takes a walk in the country

and sees an older man

staring into a field

He asks the older gentleman

if he needs anything.

The old man says he briefly saw a citadel 

over there

but didn't want to elaborate. 

Then the young man saw it briefly.

They both sat on a rock

and stared into the field. 

Soon, there were hundreds of men, women, 

animals and creatures from all walks of life

from every possible planet, every possible time, sitting on rocks, 

politely conversing, 

Nobody understanding how they can communicate, 

or why they saw what they did. 

The  citadel was upside down in the sky, with water above it, sky below, 

if above and below are even apt description in a topsy turvy situation like this. 

All agreed that everything was so peaceful here, 

in this land where the everything meets the nothing. 

No time, no hunger, no desires. No worries.

So there they sat, waiting for the next time it appeared, if you can call it the next time in a place with no beginning or end. 

A place with no needs to be met.
