Necessary Emptiness
By: Erline Goodell
Danville, CA
Possibilities
can not flow
into a crowded vessel.
Wishing to receive
one must stand still
in the void.
Emptying
and release
invites
Full
Life wells up inside
churning, creating,
maturing
until a certain moment
when it floods up,
overflows
and pours itself out
onto all its scattered parts
effervescence
boils over
shimmering
all around
