Fullness in Emptiness

When considerations turn to judgment
And ego forges a cold empty throne
Where every reason of truth turns pungent
A mirror will be the kingdom we own
In the soul stirs an essence of value
To judge the concerns and worries we face
Where our wisdom is gathered from virtue
And gives us guidance and purpose in grace
Allowing our emptiness to feel full
When bliss fills the void with its burning glow
To shine a silent light so beautiful
Allowing the basis of truth to grow
Giving us time to breathe and forgive
So, the light of life can expand and live
