Notes About The Poem

Written April 15 2026 for Fullness in Emptiness contest sponsor Unseeking Seeker 

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

Create in me oh God a clean heart
Burn the impurities cast the vanities 
I know You as Creator of me flesh art
You saved from depth of insanity 

Fullness in emptiness I wish to be
Baptized in the Spirit and the word
Like a new wine skin first empty
Flowing over with holy sermon heard

If I only touch His garment hem
I can be free of what ails my soul
For the Lord hears my cry my whim
Healing my heart body making whole 

Fullness in emptiness I aim to be 
As new wine skin before blessing

Thanks Tom! I’m sure that other poets are more eloquent elegant and well versed but it’s still fun to try!

Yes, God hears us, cleanses us, fills us up (as a new wine skin). Hugs
