You say
"Truth"
is found
in the absence
of presence

Who found it?

How can this be?

Where and when was
the absence of presence,
if there was presence
of absence to see?

If you were
present to see,
it cannot be so.

Did it appear
in your absence?

How do you know?

This "Truth"
you have found...

'though some
think it cool,

"absence of presence"

is the talk of a fool.

Where in the world
do such things arise?

Such thoughts,
such sights and sounds?

Due to the
absence of absence,
the absence of presence
will never be found.

Ah,
there is the constant.

Constant is Truth's essence

Truth lies in the absence of absence

For the absence
of absence
is
PRESENCE

I guess I'm not the only one who recognizes that sometimes the so-called profound is just so much foolishness. This appeals to my common sense. Love it.

It made me think. I like how you made it seem like a riddle.

This is definately a re-read, again and then, again, re-read it, and then when you have read it, read it again.

I think I've just been walking (reading) in circles but a good time was had and that's the important thing.     Enjoyed!
