Emptiness

empty handed into this world we came
empty handed we would depart from here
yet we want to grasp all the material pleasures
denying ourselves the real meaning of life

therein creating a vacuum that can never be filled

  1. Look at the irony!!We feverishly fill ourselves with material things and pleasures while steadfastly denying space for thoughts on purpose of life.The attic of mind is full of garbage that needs to be thrown out to fill it with spiritual thoughts.
    A great thought,Lakshmi

  3. I(me!) asked a tree -
    "is anything wrong to search materials for one's living?"

    she breathed the air, drunk the water, joyfuly received the sunrays within it and relaxedly told me,
    "you decide!"
