Epitome Of Emptiness


the titular touch 
     of 
sunburst dawn
              chromatic
     and 
moon masked night
              argentine
     builds 
the bud 
layer on layer
the blooming design 
     of 
destined motif
opens the petals
     painted 
to perfection
     while              
the floral essence 
of enticement 
              unfurls
transient beauty 
of life’s elegance
              esoteric 
until the flower withers 
in vacuity          

the wilting flower 
doesn’t even know 
when the call 
               ordained
would come 
with the slashing silence 
     of
the freezing night
from the abyss 
of the gloomy ground 
     where 
it would fall
to disappear 
               drifting 
to obscurity 
in the tempest of time
               tormenting

I walk weary
in life’s senile path
               broken 
 with trudging moments
               depleted
    wafting 
like desiccated dust
    away
from the steps 
I trace 
in the last mile 
               meandering 
to disappear 
at the vanishing point
               indeterminate
     yet
embedded in 
amorphous reality        
               inexorable
the spectrum 
of the setting sun 
      tinges 
the fading fringe 
of time
in the twilight zone
turning into 
eternity specks
enclosed within 
the sated soul
      where
I float 
in timeless waves 
in the bay of bliss
                boundless
      wandering 
to the yonder shore
                configured 
as the epitome
of emptiness
                embracing
