The shores of sky

                                                          When the mind is barren
                                                                 Heart is broken
                                                           Stray thoughts creep in
                                                               Reason disappears

                                                                 Real is unknown 
                                                            Known is not the truth
                                                              Perception is illusion
                                                            A leap of lack and flaw

                                                              Shore is not the end
                                                              It springs perpetuity
                                                          Beginning becoming end
                                                           The search getting futile 

                                                             Beyond full and empty 
                                                                     Near and far
                                                                 Lies the world of 
                                                                  Countess shores

A haunting, philosophical piece that beautifully captures the mind’s drift between brokenness, illusion, and infinity. The closing image of “Countess shores” leaves a wonderfully vast, mysterious echo.
