The Void

A Thousand Lifetimes

I stand in the Void,

in this great and terrible expanse.

No axis mundi.

Simply… here.

***

I observe. All things, seeking to be great,

to make a name for ourselves.

***

HERE has no point of reference.

Where it all begins or ends -

Rests

- Obscurely in the Halls of Knowing.

***

I observe. All things, seeking to be great,

We make a name for ourselves.

***

To go within is to expand without.

Meditating, to absorb the agitation of all that is.

From the most audible,

to the piercing pitch of nothingness.

***

High pitch,

Pitch perfect,

Perfectly unperfected.

***

I observe. All things, seeking to be great,

to make a name for ourselves.

***

The Universe, discovering Itself;

creating, designing, recycling,

and redefining.

Perhaps we've been here, or there,

everywhere, and nowhere.

***

A thousand lifetimes.

***

I observe. All things, seeking to be great,

we make a name for ourselves.

***

Ah, we are no-thing,

in this nothingness,

that is everything.

***

I observe. All things, seeking to be great.

We make no name for ourselves.

For Source is the identity of us All.
