Fullness in Emptiness

Hallowed vessels maintain the darkest sky,
In silent rooms where echoes learn to seek.
Of barren fields where winter shadows dry;
Cradling their seeds that will desire to speak. 

How rich the hands that carry nothing now,
Escape the history of all so bold;
The spirit clears, a dark and furrowed brow.
Stealing ancient stars of fire and gold.

For among rock where people used to dwell,
A quiet wellspring rises from the deep.
The ringing herald of a silver bell;
Is new music that the tribes cannot keep.

When every worldly treasure fades from view,
The cup is drained to fill itself anew.
