"The Transcendence of Emptiness..."

 


The rain descends in mournful cries,

As a lone figure, with gaze to the skies,

Stands amidst the downpour's roar,

With eyes that reflect an emptiness at its core.

The deluge washes away the hues of the day,

Leaving a monochrome world in its wake,

And in this dreamlike scene, the man remains,

Lost in thought, his heart aching with pain.

The raindrops dance to a rhythm surreal,

While the man's mind is lost in a whirl,

Of memories that fade with each drop that falls,

Leaving behind an emptiness that appalls.

Yet, within the emptiness there still shines,

A flicker of hope that refuses to wane,

A light that beckons, a beacon of truth,

Guiding the man towards a new path and proof.

With the rain's cessation, he takes a step forward,

Towards a future that shines like a sword,

The emptiness in his eyes begins to fade,

As he embraces life, with its joys and its shades.
