  • Look away…

    Look away.

    So as to see better.

    Isn’t that the only way we truly see things?

    Can you ever see the sea without having looked at the scorching sun? Can you ever see your child without seeing its absence? Could you ever look at your self without looking at others?

    Close your eyes now.

    Look.

    What do you see?

  • Death is Dead

    In a cosmos full of everything how can change be?
    In a cosmos full of nothing, how can we exist?
    What other proof do you need?
    A cosmos full of nothingness.
    Full of you and me.
    An ever changing cosmos.
    Why do we seek stability in such a world?
    Ask the simple questions…
    And the cosmos will disappear…
    In a world of possibilities, there is nothing that cannot exist.
    In a World full of nothing, there is nothing that can Be.
    Except the simplest things that we still seek.
    Me. You. He. She.
    In a world full of everything I still cannot know how I came to be.
    And I still seek for answers.
    Refusing to accept what the universe whispers to me.
    (What can die, could never live…)

    death, poem

  • Nothing to see…

    Blind humans.

    Always worried about what they see.

    But is there a limit to the versions of one thing?

    I see a table.

    You see it from a different point of view.

    Another person sees something entirely new.

    A blind man sees nothing.

    A philosopher asks whether the table exists.

    A small ant running across sees a whole planet on which it can live.

    Bacteria roaming its surface do not even care where they are upon.

    A whole cosmos crying out loud.

    (There is nothing to see…)
