Poems

Open awareness,
Open consciousness,
A sense of being continuous.

Boundaries nowhere,
“Inner” and “outer”
Are meaningless.

Unfolding with our environment,
There is no definition.

Do I write to erase me?
Am I sharing to negate you?

From where does the message originate?

What does “your” looking?
Where is the platform?
What are the goals?

Release. Let go. Abandon.

Living as oblivion,
Nothing attaches,
Nothing sticks.

The masses judge,
“No direction! No goals!”

Not contributing
While unreactive
Expands collective peace.

Magnify inward to perceive
Various waves and geometries.

Zoom out to flee!

Behold complete emptiness
And swirling eternity.

A self emerges
From a non-self.

“Growing up”,
Powerless against conditioning

Taught to be an individual,
We cherish given labels.

Grasp and resist!
Attain and reject!

Have your designations
Tortured you sufficiently?

Have you completed
Your unique miseries?

A self dissolving
To a non-self
Is a natural restoration.

Nightly, we are obliterated in sleep.
Are you terrified to drift off,
Or relieved and eager?

Word thoughts go silent.
The curtain closes
On our chattering monologue.

Experiencing abyss,
We are renewed.
