The Pinnacle of Emptiness

IT ALL BEGAN WITH A SINGLE RAINDROP,
SLOWLY DRIPPING… DROP! DROP!
BUT NOT FROM THE SKIES ABOVE,
IT WELLED UP FROM WITHIN, LIKE A FLOOD OF LOVE.
TEARS, LIKE RAINDROPS, FELL WITH GRACE,
STREAMING DOWN MY CHEEKS, SALTY IN TASTE.
FOR ONCE, MY THOUGHTS IN DISARRAY,
PONDERING ON NAUGHT, LOST IN THE FRAY.
WHY DOES MY MIND OSCILLATE, SEEKING SORROW’S EMBRACE?
WHY THIS FEELING OF BEING ADRIFT, IN NEED OF SAVING GRACE?
MANY QUESTIONS LINGER, ANSWERS OUT OF SIGHT,
THEY SAY WRITERS WEAVE TALES, BUT I WRITE MY INNER LIGHT.
THIS IS ME UNVEILING, SUBTLY, A PIECE CONCEALED,
SHARING A PART OF ME, PREVIOUSLY UNREVEALED…
