2I couldn't tell you what enlightenment means
but there've been moments when I have been
So Filled
with awe I couldn't think or speak,
staring across a 6-lane highway at the
beautiful sunset that made the whole city look small
realizing after the moment that
it was telling me, time doesn't matter.
What a universe,
So Immense
that nothing can ever pollute it,
not death, war, disease or just plain smoke
This empty, beautiful universe
holding us all in our places like a crystal bowl
humming with the resonance of every voice inside it
even the echoes of voices long gone
and the knowledge courses through my veins like
liquid music,
and then I forget again for a while
but forgetting is okay,
because it makes it all much newer the next time
like a reincarnation
the sky, the air, the breeze mixing smells of
exhaust, leaves, hot ashphalt, cut grass
Nothing matters at all
Not time, not space, not life
and the pointlessness of everything
is just what makes it wonderful.
