Emptiness

[drippingmind]

You've said that
now is here-yet, I
don’t see or feel the
breath of the present.
Is this sheer

blindness?

I am here all the while
fighting in vain to capture the
elusive glory of the present-

while the whole world is
grieving for the
death of
serenity.

The essence of
knowing has been lost-
within the mocking spaces-

that exist in between the

unseen comforts of

before and after.

I wish to be here
right now, but
I remain
to be-

nowhere.

Nicely penned Jane... sometimes we allow ourselves to be lost to the world... numbed by reality and locked into the hollow places of our hearts.

thanks john, :-)
very true, :-)...and sometimes, being lost is the best choice one has.. for the time being...
...its not about giving up, and being hopeless ...it is necessary sometimes to accept, or to stop- and try again. :-)

Dripping - Sooo powerful! Remember there's always tomorrow and things seem to get brighter with a new day.

Very Good

Hi E! :-) thank you so much- I think that's the lifeline that one needs to hold on to- a brighter and new day ahead, life is really beautiful - "being lost" some times is just a necessary spice to make life more exciting, lol!
