Poetry
Sunyata
Can you step
Into empty space
Knowing nothing
Seeing nothing
Understanding nothing?
Can you divest yourself
Of all attachments,
Of mind and body
All longings
And belongings?
Can you expose
Your empty essence
To be one with
The emptiness
Of sunyata?
Do this and
Pleasure and Pain
Praise and Blame
Disgrace and Fame
Loss and Gain
Will you transcend.
To float as in
A blue, blue sky
Formless, Vast
Unlimited
