* The Light *
and will be remembered by
the footprints we leave
until the sands of time
are washed away
by the waves of the unknown.
Nothingness?
Everything we can think of
must be something..
Even nothing is something
Once we perceive it and give it a name
it is thus defined into existence..
The unknown is just an uncharted frontier
full of unperceived and nameless things.
If you can think it, it exists..
A dog and a bird walk on a beach,
the tide is out for now.
Their quest is the same as the monk,
a bit of food and understanding..
Plastic bags strewn and discarded.
Synthetic intrusions cluttering..
scrambling..
rambling..
Time will take it back..
On a larger scale,
we are just a blip on the pulse of eternity..
Will we be a peak or a valley??
Rise and fall,
in and out,
up and down
until
the flatline comes....
Apathetic to Life,
but we care about out own.
A decision to open one's heart
will lead one's mind
to existence.
Existence is one thing.. and everything
You are a part of it,
not apart from it.
It's not a diminishing realization
but an empowering one.
