Sentience Of Existence - Paz


Emotional vacuity thrives in the thicket 
where the trees of life stand dismally upright,  
seeking the hollow heaven they cannot reach,
but branches suture the intricate web of living.

Roots sink into the essence of time,
holding the formless epitome of every soul,
defined unperceived by the dissolved self, 
lost in the silence of the fervent foliage.

That’s where you’ve gone
with the spirited sentience of existence.
