The State Of Nothingness Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The State Of Nothingness

Rating: 4.5


On this platform
Everything dissolves
Ego is dissipated
Identities are folded
Expectations are erased
Attachments are meaningless
The road is empty of any thoughts
The path is full of light
Sorrow and love are in one bowl
Pain and laughter are pressed together
There is no turmoil
All storms have been quietened
There is no joy
All celebrations abandoned
There is only you
Sitting on a timeless existence
A dimensionless realm
The world is not around
The universe is absent
There are no other distractions
Everything has been mowed down
All thoughts have been uprooted
The physical realm is outside your presence
Your absence is beyond this reality
You are partaking on a journey
The unknown is unfolded
The known is understood
Awareness is displayed
Life is melted
Love is allowed to flow
And you are part of the flow
You are the Love
Love is the nothingness around you
Love is the spirit in you
There is no other destination
But your true self

Dear George Krokos, I am not a Buddhist practitioner but i have tapped into the inner workings of consciousness or spiritual enlightenment. I am a practitioner of Silence. Thank you. Best regards,

The true self is the immortal Spirit within everyone and is what I call the Eternal Witness or God. The title of the poem - The State of Nothingness - almost sounds like a dissertation on what the Buddhist's know and term as being - Nirvana - a similar concept or state of existence, Are you by any chance a Buddhist practitioner? Regards and Greetings George K.
