Emptiness is so very full
Full of what?
Full of loneliness
Full of a sinking feeling until
Finally reaching a sea bed of dreams
With dark creatures of a cold sunless ocean
Filling my mind with dread
A sunken pirate ship of humanity
Swashbuckling tales of buckled, bent, mediocrity
A life examined falling short of ideology
Eulogy not necessary
And now an emptiness
So very full
Of nothingness
That’s me.
May I dissolve and
Join the endless
Sea
An emptiness
With nothing left
Of me
A vast unshored ocean
And filled with
The loneliness
Of just One
The I that witnessed the thought
I am me.
An emptiness filled
With a sea
Of bliss.
