Nothing Is Empty

Does life return to touch

the untouched waves on the shore,

mindless days pass bodiless,

new years make entry and exit

without disturbing time or history.

But why be angry why push

adrenalin with the force of failure?

If life is empty, exhale it

inhale something new,

a new emptiness for a change.

Is emptiness a  new creation

another soft fall of failure,

well, the game is not over

wait for the last spark or flicker

to glow and burst
into a flame of hope.

Yes, the land will turn fertile

green and full

the untouched waves will come

to wash your feet with foam.
