Response to "nothing matters" 1 of 3 2/23/12

1

Into a blacksmith's old soul,

there is this familiar space

that strikes no pose

and does not gather any excess.

For there is more deeply imbedded

a forever rootedness.

It is more than life,

by sensory observation,

comes to demonstrate.

Here, before the feet of perception

have solidified images

or the tongues of self-awareness

have persuasion,

lies a sourcefulness of being.

This is where all contradictions

bang their maggot heads

upon this door.

This self of door,

hinged of tissues and sinewy,

that has words slap at it

and meanings left there to smart.

What that attempts to say

is what cannot be spoken.

What that attempts to mean

is what cannot be understood.

What is that, that is not to be?

Was there ever

another point in time

ready to answer?

Was there an embellishment of world

that was not empty

for spirit, your spirit, to fill?

Is it an insane fixation

of worthlessness as your continuance,

a we-they of clamor towards yearning

that is yet to surmise,

a dingy of softly spoken whispers

coming from all four corners

of the universe at you at once,

a deep envelope of self

filled with promiscuous liquids

and breeze of constant breathing,

as an elegant intercession of breathes

in a nerve fusion dance?

Well, was there ever a something

coming towards you

and yet now,

you boldly stand and profess,

a “nothing matters”?
