In a hollow space,
I find my bliss.
Who am I?”

“I am the dance where halves dissolve,
The stillness where things evolve.
I am a drop, and the ocean too,
A song unsung, yet heard in you.
I am the hunter and the prey,
The night that swallows
the birth of day.
Who am I?”

“I conquer you without a fight,
I steal your strength, but grant you light.
I make you fall, yet help you rise,
I wound your heart to open your eyes.
I take your ground, I make you switch
I ask for all, yet leave you rich,
I am the loss that feels like gain,
The quiet joy inside your pain.
