When Life Becomes Fallow
WHEN LIFE BECOMES FALLOW
The still frozen nothingness ancient
Transformed into the universe nascent
Matter formed from the fringe of silence
The creative core of cosmic sense
The depth of voids in all things’ essence
The creator’s unique space they represent.
Within everything that exists
The universal voidness still persists
In the depth of the living mind
Of the evolved race of mankind
Filled to the brim with emotions blind,
Life gets attached although conscience resists.
The full sky hangs its clouds low
They melt in storm, make the sad sky hollow,
Happy trees green in the spring
Don’t hear the birds flying near sing
When in fall the dry leaves grow wing
Life plunged in barrenness turns fallow.
Lost in wasteland the clouded mind grieves
Molten emotion drains in tears, emptiness it leaves,
Let the soul clear the delusion
From the mind captive in seclusion,
Free the mind, open the devout clear vision
Know how peace from emptiness life retrieves.
