Emptiness

It all begins with a thought And enters into you Like a gust of wind And you feel empty You come out crawling Out of the gorge as if You are in hibernation And have not eaten thousand years To fill up your void You start acquiring worldly things Nothing is left in your way One by one you take all in You grow in size But no filling has been done to your void Among all sensual and worldly pleasures More strongly you feel your emptiness In reality it is a big delusion That something physical will fill you up Comfort your soul And nourish your growth Before you understand Something is wrong You are entrapped in a web And caught in a whirlwind of sense gratification You are tossed up And from that great height Like a feather you fall On a bigger inner hollowness In the way of downward spiral No change will come in Until you understand Matter is for your mind, body and intellect But feeling of emptiness comes from your spirit

This touches depths! Great Write! You summed up the situation well in your last two lines. The question now is how does one fill the emptiness of spirit. Perhaps you have the answer which you can express in your next poem. Have a nice day!
