Fullness In Emptiness

“as both this form and boundless space
cravings of ego negated
awake, vibrant yet nonchalant 
bliss drenched heart remains elated”
                                 —Unseeking Seeker
               
Feast and revel in ordo amoris,
the seether within stirs its godless bonds,
If not, what sings in harmony we’ll miss  
thick or thin without sympathy desponds

We paint careful brush strokes without callus
slothful paint by number’s dupe self-spirals,
and not to fool one as the tenebrous,
whilst stratagem caliginous virals

We pen lucid images from the soul
without subterfuge there’s true belonging,
Clean and composed dignity merits gold,
gone—deep-seated universal longing        

Emptiness stripped by turpentines amiss,
in fullness it streams harps euphoric gliss

The "cravings of ego negated," suggest that true spiritual vibrancy and "bliss" come from moving beyond personal desires and the self. Best for a win.

Your "Emptiness Strips, Fullness Streams" is a creative write/picture. Some write with words, some write with paint, some do both. Hooray!!!  "Good Luck" Have a great day/week writing away..............
