Knower of My Emptiness (J. Rupp)

I can easily hide out 

From everyone but you.  

I can pretend fullness 

But you won’t be fooled. 

You observe my emptiness 

In my sepulchered spirit. 

You try to convince me 

That being emptied of ego 

Is the prerequisite 

For being filled with love. 

--Joyce Rupp, O.S.M, Fragments of Your Ancient Name
