Life will fill
Whatever you empty . . .  
And whatever you fill, 
Life will empty. 
That’s the code;
The hidden conduct of contentment 
Wrapped in mystery, 
Filled with contradiction.

No sense in trying to save yourself
By holding out; 
Nothing you have held onto
Has filled the hole, has it?
Then be hollow. 
Let the winds of change 
Play you instead of punish you.
 
Give it away!
Use it up!
Offer it to the Wind
And then . . . jump in!
