nothing 3/26/16

there is nothing stopping us
but the politeness of form
we have come to feel captured
and engaged in such perceptions
we have built a heritage of encasement
and call that our life on earth
we have embraced time as our mentor
created stories we tell in time’s presence
we have grandfathered a sense of entitlement
that we feel responsible to fulfill
we are species myopic
in the grandness of scale
there is nothing stopping us
but the ‘us’ phenomenon we promote
is as a collections of separates, falsely unified
there is a matrix free-fall in the universe
and we are part of that ongoing elaboration
yet of limited consciousness to fully participate
we yearn and are drawn in secretive ways
ways of attraction without authentication per se
we made up religions and deities to account for us
we invented systems of belief to assure
we pursued retentive mind in fight or flight modes
and thus the experience of spine-tingling to boot
we have dedicated brain parts to chemically defend us
and experience styles of narrow-minded self accounts
but still, there is nothing stopping us
that’s right, nothing is stopping us, nothing
but then, ‘nothing’ is our human term
for something of no importance, a naught
yet its existence haunts us beyond ‘nothingness’
our inability to grasp or participate in nothing
keeps us in check, restrained, duly confined
as we venture into nothing that we know about
and yet, there is ‘nothing’ stopping us . . .
