Searching Within The Emptiness


Lost in an empty space craving something to replace the emptiness. I was told there was one, they called it the son and the light. I looked towards the sky, the sun blaze in my eye, the light burning my skin, the heat scorching inside. There was nothing. So I searched and researched and perched upon the tree of misery and destruction. I was told there was another, they called it the father and my friend. I searched in every place Looked at every face I was hurt and unhurt and alert at every person I passed. I found no one. I was told there’s one to inherit, they called it the spirit and the ghost. In the graves I looked upon towards the good, towards the wrong. So I searched the seen and unseen and foreseen beneath the beds of the dead. It was empty. I remained confused in this empty world. Until spoken words were heard. They said “I love you” But I was alone. I was empty. The one said I’ll replace the empty space, I’ll erase the hidden waste I’ll embrace all your mistakes because with me you fall on grace. There is no emptiness with me. There’s only love.

It tells a story of my wonders and curiosities in the world. The emptiness I encountered and the satisfaction I found in God.
