Enveloped by ALL, within the great Nothing
Fearless and untouched by Time
Eternal and thoughtless...formless and free
FLESH had not yoked the Mind
All that I knew was...'twas nothing to know
I AM ...without quest or goal
Nothing was needed....nothing was sought
What can one add to the whole?
                              
Unaware that there was darkness
For I had not yet learned of light
Ego and Brain had not hooked their chains
Mind had not dreamed Wrong and Right
                              
Deep within consciousness , a faint light appeared
Drawing me into its glow
Awareness of SOUND and shades of grey
Creating a ...NEED....to KNOW
                              
At first , this new realm was a nuisance
I was pulled from my peace...with resentment
I loathed the shadows and the questions they spawned
Depriving me of my contentment
                              
To and fro...my awareness would go
Each time...the light drew me nearer
Curiosity grew...but still my Mind knew
that the realm of No Thought was dearer
To and fro....the transition was slow
Shadows began to take form.
Now...Nothing was only reached through sleep.
The World of Light was the norm
                              
One of the shadows crossed over my face
This...I would learn...was my hand
One of the shadows offered me...TASTE
A pleasure I soon would demand
I was now FLESH and TIME took me in
My previous world was a dream
Shadows and Sounds anchored me down
To the sounds...I added my screams
The shadow of Taste...possessed a soothing voice
Feelings of comfort and love...like no other
Its presence would cause my heart to rejoice
I learned that its source was ...my Mother
                              
And so it began....and so it will end
All must now be unlearned
As a Man....I am drawn....toward LIGHT once again
To the Realm of No Thought....I return.
