the thoughtless thought ...

thinking in black
  think in the back
   of your mind's back seat
    where does it take you?
     i defy you, this feat
      to think of (no)thing
       go ahead, try a retreat
        to the blackest black
         where you've never been
          (where you'll never go)
           take a friend (if you wish)
           to search high and low
          for the thoughtless thought
         for the thought never sought
        even now you can't win
       for we all live from within
      but who knows
     after death's dark call?
    the thought you thought
   that could never be(?)
  might be the thought
only death can see(?)

I've had some experience with those...grin...
what do they say...the mind is a "drunken monkey"? This reminds me much of meditation exercizes...(now there's an oxymoron for you!) Thanks for the think...I think! enjoyed...

hi serenity ... thanks for reading this ... this is one of those odd things i think about from time to time ... i believe it impossible to think about (no)thing, although i've heard some religions claim nirvana from the achievement of this state ...

This was not only beautiful and provoking but I find myself now in somewhat of a trance and I don't know how to describe it as yet. Wonderful!!!

thanks Mark ... always appreciate your taking the time to read my work ... "the thoughtless thought" is an exercise in futility ... i want people to just give it a try ...
