He will leave, it will leave
Gradually… everyone will leave you
Those who hope for you will also leave
Even those who you hope will leave
The number of people leaving you will increase.
Before you know it, you will be left by your loved ones
Those who are with you will also leave
Those within you will also leave
As leaves leave the tree
Every element you say ‘mine’ and ‘me’ will leave
then
You will only become bare like a tree without leaves.
You will become unarmed, innocent, destitute, nameless
And finally
While you are still hoping
For a moment, just for a moment,
You will leave this earth, this world forever
and
As empty dissolves into nothingness,
you will dissolve into zero.
