Thoughts

He said,

about time but

i said not yet.

He said just now 

but i said a bit later.

He said this instant 

but i said just 

in a moment. 

He said a second

will do but 

i said just a minute.

He said today,

but i said tomorrow.

He said yesterday

but i said today.

But yesterday 

he said tomorrow,

i said do it 

now already.

He said the darkness 

is always here 

but i said there's 

always light in it.

He said there's nothing,

but i said look well,

there's always something 

hidden in nothing.

The air is always 

something in nothing.

But the fire

can always cause

the absence of air

in something.

For nothing cannot

give rise to something.

In the abundance 

of heart the mouth speaks. 

When the sky 

is full of rain 

it empties itself.

But the lack of words 

doesn't mean the

mind is empty.

The thoughts in the mind

keep dancing to the

music of contemplation.

For the muse within

keeps talking and 

ranting to keep 

the mind busy.

Aloness is not loneliness,

for friendly strangers 

are living inside 

the silence of your 

quiet moments.

They become enemies 

only when you let 

the wickdness in 

the heart pierce 

the hands of friendship 

stretched out of love with 

your poisonous daggar. 

In your solitude

numerous thoughts and 

invisible strangers 

keeps you company 

to quench the need 

of pesky multitudes

and distractions.
