the wonder of kenosis

 

To empty is not to vanish.

It is to pour the vessel

until the air itself

becomes a listener.

 

What remains is not absence

but a widening —

a room where another voice

may enter and be heard.

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

 

 

 

To empty
is not to vanish.

It is to pour the vessel
until the air itself
becomes a listener.

 

A single drop—
falling,
echoing
in the hollow.

What remains
is not absence
but a widening—

 

a room
where another voice
may enter
and be heard.

 

          Listen.

 

Empty,
yet alive

 

 

 

 

with filling space.
