No - Thingness Poem by Jeri Martindale

No - Thingness



A single tear falls down my cheek, as I lay my weary mind to sleep.
Each night that single fear slips into my thoughts; once again all is lost.
Inner voices screaming at me, telling me that I have transcended; but once again all has ended.

In a No-thingness.

And so I pass the time away, staring at the sky thinking its grey.
Only because my life is hiding in the shade; it all seems much to far away.
A dragon flys by a wizard on his back, leaving a message that contains me unwillingly into black.
Now is the time to sit and wait, thinking that I wil never break.
Only the strings pull more forcefully and time unknowingly ticks away rapidly.

Leaving me with a No-thingness

Dripping wet with emotions, I awake with an unimaginable amount of thankfulness that I was actually staring straight into the mirror.
Not knowing why I was staring because unfortunatly I did not see myself. But believe the image staring back at me is my life of dreams.
I accept the life that she herself portreys, one of beauty and excitement but one who often purposely escapes into the grey.
Possibly letting everything that could just fly away into the wind?

Away into a No-thingness
