Analysis of Emptiness Sublime
Silence often defines the verse
its music between the notes
The freedom to breathe, the moment to grow
fertility bespoke
Space may be perfect with nothing penned
to fill or then divide
Quiet and silence never the same
—true emptiness sublime
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
