Apparent Emptiness

Nothing is solid, nothing lasts,

except nothing.

Even the universe is temporary.

Apparently, most think there must be

something real…otherwise, 

we wouldn’t be worried about 

change and death.

That nagging feeling, that hole inside

we cannot fill,

mocking like Ozymandias,

is, really, where it’s at; 

the source and the return.

What we can’t understand 

we call God.

Our minds are trained to think

so we can go to the moon,

whatever that helps.

Bravo! 

The monkeys got off the planet!

Now what?

People can do so many things!

Why is it so hard for them to just be?

Many old people realize it’s all a wash.

Why would they have anything to say?

Our lives are a swinging door between

the senses and internal space mind.

No wonder we get nervous…there’s

nothing, no me, in between!

That nagging feeling that we missed 

something…that there’s something

we need to know, then, we’ll understand.

Omniscience is merely having nowhere

else to go, that magic feeling!

“To know is to get lost.” Nanao Sakaki.

The only thing unique about us is

we have to realize that ourselves.
