Wanting Nothing

When in the ethereal grip

of a meditative state,

you want nothing.

The spiraling gold shaft

twines with its silver sister

to braid earth and heaven.

Twisted in that coil

you want nothing.

You hang weightless,

suspended,

held in the embrace of the Universe

by the unconditional energy

that is always there

and has always been there

and you want nothing.

 

Would life have been less painful

if you had known this all along?

Or do you embrace this image

Of spiraling gold and silver

simply to escape the pain?

Impossible to say.

 

Is this needs must?

Or a secret revealed?

 

It doesn't really matter,

for you are wanting nothing.
