To be as nothing. To be the breath that neither seeks to rise nor fall...content to pass in silent understanding as a whisper on your lips. If I were only this... Would you breathe this space to draw me near? To be as nothing. To be the wind...that yearns to know the taste of all that lies before the briefness of its touch. If I were only this... Would you spread your fingers to the night...as I kissed the air that ran between them? If I were only this...if I were nothing - Would you know me? |

there is an old saying..that to paraphrase badly..goes something like To know and be enlightened is to first understand the nothingness of all. your poem touches on this..and hangs beautifully on the breeze it emulates. |
