Balance??

carrying a hollow
bulging with emptiness
a cloud struggles to float
on harsh sunny sky...

sun, aflame
burns and scatters blisters
that wince, in dark
shedding tears that
kiss the earth
who grieves with them

but all of them
float on...
centuries after century...
circiling the void,
they do not sink
though heavy
with unshed lava...

and that wisp of a cloud
struggling to stay float
starts to sink
even as we speak...

maybe
emptiness within
is heavier
than all the unshed lava of the universe.
