Neither high nor low, the ledge of nothing

It’s missed, in craving for everything

Beware the doting parent who gives

As long as we’re takers, the mind forgives

It’s freely gifted, the full package

Wanting, the only baggage

Weighting our wings, as we preen and show

Enjoying nightfall, trapped in that artificial glow

Dawn may illuminate, there’s nothing new

Revealing the known, that’s the clue

Look beyond, every drop’s a trap

By following nothing we rise like sap

Desires evaporate like dew, and what’s left?

The ledge of nothing, the safe nest

It’s value enhanced when dropped

In exchange, ascent cannot be stopped
