“The Light That Remains

No more void,
nor silence,
nor desire to kindle.
All burns
without flame—
a gentle sun within,
that neither seeks nor proves,
only breathes.
Words have melted into light,
and light has grown simple—
a sort of peace that claims no name.
There,
even shadow is tender,
even silence wears a face.
Nothing left to utter,
yet all is heard.”
― Zeon Vale

“The Bottomless Void

I am seized by a longing
to dwell in the bottomless void,
where weight plummets,
and the heart ascends.
There, love knows no edges,
asks nothing, promises nothing,
only levitates—
like a vapor that knows
All is already whole.
There is no time,
no names, no fear;
only silence that breathes through light
and an invisible thread
that binds all we've lost
To all we've understood.
I am seized by a longing
to no longer be—
and yet, to be more fully
than ever before.”
― Zeon Vale
