Empty

I went around the world,
Looking,
For that something, someone to complete me,
The Rain laughed,
The Sky showed me his back,
The damp earth cried many tears,
The wind spread its wings wide,
And I never really saw them again,
Until, many years later I learnt to be empty,
To desire only the absolute,
In my emptiness I saw,
How complete I was,
My breath was nothing but the Wind,
The Sky had always been here,
It was the Earth I lay on, every night,
And the Rain was in every grain,
That I had eaten for thirty years,
I was born this way,
Empty, yet, whole,
Oh,what a fool I have been,
Should have stopped looking a long time ago.
