Emptiness. Go away! Don’t you understand?
I don’t want you. Go away!
But I am real, says emptiness.
No! That cannot be! Emptiness cannot be real.
Only love is real. I don’t want emptiness. Go away!
But I am the doorway to unconditional love, says emptiness.
No! No! You frighten me!
I don’t want you. Go away!
To love one and hate another is not unconditional love, says emptiness.
Don’t disturb my dreams.
Emptiness, I don’t want you. Go away!
But I am always with you, says emptiness.
No. You are not here. I am happy!
I don’t want you. Stay away!
Just come through my doorway, says emptiness.
No! No! You lie! I love Love.
I don’t want emptiness. Stay away
Love is your heartache, says emptiness.
I am nothing without love.
You lie, emptiness. Stay away!
You are nothing, says emptiness.
I am nothing? I am nothing? . . . I am nothing.
Yes, says emptiness, you have at last crossed my threshold.
Now . . . you are unconditional love. nnn nn nn
