When the mind is without thought
The silence buzzes
Shrieks
The area between the ears looms huge
Like a four lane highway
Empty of vehicles
But full of noise
Surging outwards to the ears
Searching
For sound
When the eyes are without sight
Coloured lights
Flash against black
Blue
Silver
Coiling
Roiling
The lack of thought is not silence
The lack of sight is not darkness
And it only takes one misscaught thought
To send the mind into motion once more
But in the non silent silence
And the flashing darkness
You can stand for seconds
In a controlled fall
Waiting for the mind
To start thinking again
Then not allowing it to do so
Holding on
Holding on
Tell me
How
Long
Can
You
Hold
On
To
Nothing?
Very thought provoking, for sure. And I absolutely agree that the lack of thought is not silence, just like I believe the lack of love is not hatred. There’s a fine difference, right?
Loved this piece. How long can you hold on to nothing? As long as nothing keeps clinging to you, maybe?
Thanks for your thoughts I enjoyed reading them 🌸
That’s a good question.
