yes, there is nothing to fear in darkness <br />nothing <br />is there anyway, nothing to feel in this emptiness emptying itself <br />like evaporating water into vapor <br />in space like a bag of dust spreading like feathers <br />in openness <br /> <br />you feel empty you feel the void wriggling inside your <br />guts <br />your mind floating so lightly like a dream in your sleep <br />like a mist <br />of the mountain <br />like a mist <br />of the green fields early morning <br />like a mist <br />floating in an open sea where a man paddles his life on his small wooden sail <br /> <br />be excited as i am excited about you <br />tipsy <br />in spirits of the red wine <br />and feeling so light so empty like a ray of light like a smoke rising from <br />a cigar <br />filling the room filling your chest <br /> <br />be excited as i am excited about you <br />emptying <br />like a window opening to the skies to see some shooting stars like eyes <br />gazing to an open ricefield <br />emptying wondering to so much wisdom now rushing back to you <br />like a door opening <br />for an incoming guest <br />like a crevice of your wall letting in a ray of light telling you <br />that morning with the sun <br />is coming <br /> <br />oh be excited as i am excited about you as i watch dawn turning into <br />day <br />oh, i am so happy seeing the void expanding <br /> <br />how much can you really hold on the next step after so much void? <br />oh i am so excited!<br /><br />RIC S.
