Everything and Nothing
A poem of mystical ramblings…
I am one; everything and nothing.
I am everything, which is essentially nothing.
I am nothing, which is essentially everything.
I am two; inside and outside.
Inside, I see nothing.
Outside, I see everything.
I am everything inside-out.
I am nothing outside-in.
Where is the mirror and
What does it reflect?
Everything can only reflect nothing.
Nothing can only reflect everything.
There are no mirrors.
Every-thing is a mirror.
Nothing is empty.
When nothing notices its emptiness,
The emptiness becomes full of everything.
Everything is full.
When everything notices its fullness,
The fullness empties into nothing.
All things are these things;
Everything and nothing,
Empty and full.
I am something, therefore I am these things;
Everything and nothing,
Empty and full.
True nothing is beyond words and ideas.
Words and ideas are something.
Therefore true nothing cannot be,
Yet everything flows from nothing,
And everything returns to nothing.
True everything is beyond words and ideas.
Words and ideas are something.
Something is a mirror and cannot reflect the whole.
Yet the mirror is part of the whole.
The mirror is something, therefore it is these things;
Everything and nothing,
Empty and full.
I am three; everything, and nothing, and
A mirror in between.
