nameless o ne

what to call this nameless o ne?

it is not a thing to be seen or touched 

or felt 

it is not a thing to understand or 

put up high or down low 

it is not a like or a dislike 

or word or gesture or smile 

or sound 

what to call this nameless one?

can you say?

this is like a puzzle to the mind 

as it cannot find it's way into the heart 

it cannot go there 

and figure out 

that which cannot be confined

or put in a box
and locked up 

isn't this such a great wonder?

forget yourself 

my dear

for you cannot be true without 

letting go 

as this is what will be 

your greatest wealth 

when that which has been attached to

falls empty on the earth of now 

and is dissolved there 

to grow flowers of joy

that are not personal

can you take this in?

and free up this knot 

it is like a knot of the world 

release it  

to float away on the river

and be drowned there

ah, then the dream is gone 

and reality glows everlasting

like a swan that is floating 

on the water 

untouched by that which
is moving

like the swan
