Delicious Nothingness
Is it possible
That after so many iterations
I can forget why I’m here?
Keep on as I must
With my forward motion
Content to slowly lose hope
To live in quiet gratitude
Or was it only a patient sort of waiting?
For there you are
A spark that persists
Each time still,
An again pronounced in memory
In the now of this moment
I feel the realness of this, this
It pulses, stirring, pointed with immensity
And I am caught up and wondering inside
As I let go of history, the chattering turning to static
In the background…
Until we find ourselves standing on this sea
Everything floating and flowing
I wish to sing! To laugh madly
To taste without consequence to the stories
Yours and mine
I use the force of my will
Letting these thoughts wander
They find their way in, like tendrils of vines
Seeking cracks and fissures
To anchor upon and nestle within
I feel the moment, savoring it like sweet touch
My head fizzing, legs shaky, but feet on the ground
Happy to let it simmer forever
A delicious nothingness
