Leave it behind
all this thinking
it led nowhere
worse
to doubt and despair
leave the analysis the depth psychology
the rationalizations and reasons for...
the science and the criticism
the theory and the mastery
Like the breakdown of a Bach fugue into some
mathematical equation
Lord where have we descended to!
like analyzing the Song of Songs for its grammatical
structure! missing its desire.
let go of it
let it slip away
let thinking itself
the monkey retire
allow the cloud of imperception and clarity descend
let Moses enter the fog
where the Lord is
let the is begin
being here
now
no-where else
and stop thinking.
sing a little
just a note
a single cord maybe
let the room vibrate and resonate
listen to the echo
is it you?
or who?
jostle the mind
play games on it
or it will catch up soon and overtake you once again
focus on nothing
just be nothing
now there’s a challenge/
stay with it
in your body
feel the buttocks on the chair
the ambient sound in the air
the sweetness of early dawn
and maybe, just maybe
you might hear the white radiance of eternity
and endure better
and for a moment be relieved by the weighty burden of
self and the shoulders will feel a little lighter.
maybe.
