Fullness in Emptiness

Line of Enquiry:
“as both this form and boundless space
cravings of ego negated
awake, vibrant yet nonchalant 
bliss drenched heart remains elated” Unseeking Seeker
**********************************************************************************************************

Where emptiness dwells, sacred space unfolds,
To make room for fullness in purest guise;
 Melting  ego and untruths left untold
Yield to real truths laid bare to the eyes.

No need to hurry, no wild race to win,
With self-esteem denied, one respires free,
Profound peace sets in and true joys begin,
Our heart drenched in bliss, rests thrilled like a bee.

The inner stillness secured, can make room
For true knowledge, beyond all worldly gains,
As emptiest cups can hold purest bloom,
Washing the self, free from all worldly stains.

The vast emptiness, where our being lies,
Lets the hallowed calm in that space to fly.

You have done full justice to Seeker's theme. When bloated ego is let out, into that empty space, fullness of grace will come in. Great sonnet and a powerful entry for the contest. All the best dear friend.
