In The Nothing...

In The Nothing...

In the nothing where silence is, you will find your desires in this illuminated walk, 
In the nothing where everything is at bay, you'll find yourself wondering in the dark, 
No purpose, 
Devices and accumulated "things" that dull the mind from our every breath, 
Can we make sure we're on the right path before we revisit death?

The tranquility of staying calm in an extreme world, is an overwhelming feeling, 
Being in my elysian field where nothing is, but everything is, 
This I'm not leaving.

No computer games,
No motorway lanes, 
No social media hate.
No notifications,
No self gratification,
No making people feel guilty over your own self identity, 
No getting opinions mixed up with facts to create your own reality,

I know people want to be heard but not everybody wants to listen, 
This should be fine, we're individuals, we have our own minds, 
But sometimes if we step out of our own minds, then we might find our true self in the sound of silence.. 

Is silence the key of finding yourself? 
This blanket of green won't let me forget, 
As I listen to the clouds move within the wind, 
I hear birdsong singing me a story of love, 
Love nature, 
Love people, 
Love animals, 
There's everything in the nothing!

To find ourselves is everything, 
How can we do that with distractions of a consuming society? 
A society where the truth gets you alienated, 
A society where social media likes overshadow the face to face values of a compliment, cuddle or a kiss,
I do ponder the reality of the world in years to come and think what I will miss. 

I'll miss my family, 
I'll miss the love that I feel, 
I'll miss the memories of life, 
I'll miss my friends who made me heal,
I'll miss the ones that I invited into my heart, 
I'll miss the peace in a burning world, 
I'll miss nothing, when I thought it was a curse. 

All this is free, it costs you nothing.

I'll not miss the "things" that I bought, 
I'll not miss irrelevant fights I fought, 
I'll not miss the earth's polluted noise, 
I'll not miss the hate that social expectation has brought.

I will miss the nothing.

Find yourself in the nothing, because in the nothing, there's everything...

Hi Wayne! Good to see you on here again! Fabulous writing!

They do say that the best things in life are free!  Yes, I agree, the things I will miss are people and animals— meaning family and friends. I will miss the sunlight as well as the moonlight. I will miss the smell of rain and the feel of grass beneath my feet. I will miss the taste of things like strawberries.

And cake.

I will definitely miss cake!

Wonderful work, here, Wayne. A beautifully written poem xx
