EMPTINESS CHASING

      EMPTINESS  CHASING 

                                      Emptiness chasing me  
                              Encircling, enclosing encompassing !
                           Through final stage of life I am passing :
                                   Where can I flee?
                              Life transcending to last phase,
                                  Dull hazy sky above to gaze,
                                   None to blame or to praise.
                       Static, stagnant without glamour or glee.

                             Mind walks on emptiness
                       Lone sailor on voyage, sailing aimless.
                                Nothing to achieve more.
                                 Nothing to lose from core.
                                   Nothing new to explore.
                       Matters little being careful or careless.

                          All the achievements turned obsolete.
                        Mattered very little whether in victory or defeat
                            or stayed behind or touched summit .
                               Everything seems now meaningless ,
                                    dragging life purposeless !
                             At end of path me bound to abandon .
                                      all desired collections !
                                        The last realisation.
