Unless we become hollow

The music within cannot flow

Our foundation is emptiness

The mind creates heaviness

The heart is hollow

Its depth isn’t shallow

Where the music of love resonates

To which everyone can relate

To penetrate the hollow

Our ego we must swallow

Leaving everything at the doorstep

Takes the heart of an adept

Trust not the eyes to see the hollow

To them, it looks dark and sallow

Follow the ears as the emptiness sings

In the hollow, music eternally rings
