This boiled calm is haunting

There is nothing

Nothing

Nothing at all

The pained breathing

Deafening

Then it is still

This boiled calm

Haunting

An unforgiving mill

There is nothing

Nothing

Nothing left at all

  1. Even in nothing there is something. Nothing-ness in Taoism, is a perfect state, but it can be perceived as something far more threatening in the real world. I like the state of dreaming with nothing coming in or going out, it’s where most of my ideas come from.
    Your poem captures that question of ‘What does it mean?’ and asks that we seek a deeper meaning.
