My I is nothing
As salt dissolves in water
To nothingness
So do I vanish
Into emptiness.
As the wax melts
Before the flame
So am I transformed
In its presence.
As the river is swallowed
By the ocean
So am I submerged
Into the ocean of existence.
As all returns
To the zero point
So do I return
To the epicentre of life.

Thank you RIAN for your comment. Irrespective of the image evoked by the poem on your reading it, at least, the essence of the work was rightly communicated to your being.
Thank you very much for dropping by.
Respect.

The most peace we can find is in activities where our small self fades away and we feel part of something greater. This poem reminded me of this truth. Thanks for the reminder.

Hello there and welcome to the DU.
I think what I liked most about this poem was the humble nature of it. It reminds us to slow down and also reminds us that life unfolds in perfect progression, independent of what we want sometimes. Each section is almost a meditation of its own.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Northern_Soul for your remark and insight.
I appreciate it.
The poem was borne out of my deep introspection and contemplation on life and its myriad of mysteries.

Beautiful description of our dissolving into something greater than ourselves. So temporal are we.
