My eyes rest on the huge emptiness
Beyond the hovering birds even;
My minds stunned at the vagueness of the vast void,
Infinite and fathomless.
It wonders where it posits
and hides inside the snails shell.
Shaken up,
it discovers me amidst the circles of obscure emptiness,
full of hollow pretentions;
Meaninglessness swallows myself,
Dawdling at the edge of the abyss with silence.
And all this reminds me of the emptiness
From where I came along,
And the ultimate nothingness where I would pass on
Transcending the limits of the dimensions.
