Nothingness Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In the art of Silence
It is the cloud of certainty that hovers above
Creating ripples of palpable joy across the vastness of eternity
It is the purity of the yearning that rips open the skies of eternity
Drenching the seeker with the sacred drops of tranquillity
Awakening a deeper sense of total awareness
Like the blossoming flowers after the rains
The seeker is suddenly a lake of beautiful pearls
Waves and waves of mysterious sensations fill his (her)heart
And a beautiful melody of Silence is unveiled
As the seeker is shattered into a million pieces of emptiness
The ego is captured and burnt in the hot flames of Love
The seeker is now dressed in the most sacred of all dresses (nothingness)
The seeker is naked of all his (her)desires
The seeker has been transformed into a Lover
The seeker is in Love with Love
And Love is his (her)only garment
This moment of perfect union is called oneness
The total annihilation of existence
And the bath of pure Love
Nothingness
