An empty vessel

I am an empty vessel
teach me to move, to speak,
to breathe, to dance.
I am an empty space
ready to be filled with
awareness, love,
consciousness and bliss.
I am a candle ready to burn,
a star waiting to shine,
a footpath ready to be trod,
a seed yearning to grow.
I arise, I live, I rest,
one moment,
many moments,
one lifetime
many lifetimes.
I breathe in
I breathe out.
I am the moment of rest
between the in-breath
and the out-breath,
the empty space
waiting to be filled.
