Emptiness

there is nothing neither more silent 
nor more louder than emptiness
gives you great pain
and gives you great happiness, this emptiness


a seeker can find a lot of reasons 
to get close to this emptiness
and a preacher wants an escape route
to get out of this emptiness


seeing people cry and seeing people laugh
makes you think about this emptiness 
seeing people wither and die 
makes you worry about this emptiness


air makes you realise
that there is something called emptiness 
a tree standing alone 
gives meaning to the emptiness


water pouring down gives you hope 
that there is end to your emptiness 
our whole life is all about 
fighting with this emptiness
or accepting this emptiness
