Full of Emptiness

the night sky over a city landscape
 
Under the cover of darkness, the night is still
pulsating with possibilities
 
All I hear is the emptiness, and all I see is the
the faint glow of the houses and cars
 
Basked in the orange light of the street lamps
Indeed, the night creatures are burrowed
 
In the bushes, scavenging and foraging
they are children of the divine, just like us
 
This emptiness is not a void containing nothing
It is the place where all duality disintegrates
 
It is the place where the bush burns
With a passion for eternal life
