Something
Out of nothing
There's always something. Even when there's nothing.
Especially when there's nothing.
But it gets drowned out by all the noise
And the sights and the smells and the tastes.
You have to let nothing happen for somthing to be seen
And heard
And felt.
Breaths. Long and deep. They keep you alive.
But they're so much more than that.
Breaths put you in constant contact with the universe.
They ensure that the ancient particles never stop flowing through you.
Feel the oneness. The unity.
You are the universe.
Unimaginably vast, old beyond comprehension.
Full of
So
Much
Nothing.
But in amongst all the nothing are a hundred thousand million billion trillion somethings.
More.
Infinite.
My life, ephemeral, but
A little something that adds to the beauty of it all.
Death.
She is not the enemy.
Just like exhaling isn't the end
Only the beginning
Creating space for the next breath.
Tears.
Crying.
Wracking sobs.
Tearing at yor core
Breathless
Twisted
Contorted
Contracted into a little ball of humanity
Of being
Of living matter.
It is the price we pay.
It is learning to let go.
To get the goods you have to release the money.
Nothing is truly free.
Or everything is.
It's about how you give and receive
Open yourself to the flow.
Reap what you sow.
The future is bright.
If we ebb with the tide.
