Fullness in Emptiness

“as both this form and boundless space
cravings of ego negated
awake, vibrant yet nonchalant 
bliss drenched heart remains elated”
~by Sponsor

I’ve no idea what that even means,
real life leaves no time to contemplate
bliss drenched hearts amid the day’s dull routines,
bliss fades away like a second-hand date. 

When was the last time I was elated;
so long ago now I don’t remember, 
lost in places broken hearts are fated
to be rough remnants of love’s ill temper. 

No rewind to choose a different path,
even if I wanted to, choices made
created me and I have no more wrath
to squander on sunset’s farewell aubade.

Still, at the end, life’s contentment fills me
with a spirit that whispers let it be.

Christine Watts May 5, 2026 at 2:48 PM Hi Chetta Now that is one I can understand so well done Loved your opening stanza as i too couldn't understand the quote but I believe you unpacked it well and you couplet was a fitting end and I agree A well deserved place Cheers Christine Chetta Achara May 5, 2026 at 4:54 PM Thank you. I figured (as Mother taught) honesty is the best policy.
