Make Life a Zero

Make life a zero
Give pieces away
From the core of nothingness 
You still have life full.
Drink a drop of divine elixir 
You have the void filled
With the only one who gives.
Life zero given away in bits
Remains life zero till the end.
Life zero encircling purpose of living
Becomes life full in the end. 
You aren’t depleted giving
For you can’t empty emptiness
You can’t get filled getting
For you can’t fill fullness.

In the final analysis
The arithmetic you solve
Would always be positive.
Your zeroness isn’t incompleteness
Because you are complete
With divine fullness of the absolute
From the beginning in nothingness.
