The two of them;
Fear and Doubt…
twins.
They Say
to me:
It is Zen, the
way that something can be
and not be.
Here and not
here.
Listen to this, he said, he
said in a whisper
as if it was forbidden
and then said
no more.
It is Zen.
This nothing that
is
everything and
is
all.
Watch me, she said, she
said with bright eyes
but distant and aloof
and then said
no more.
It is Zen.
This feeling
of loss;
of
nothing but also;
everything.
Love me, they said, they
said with
knowing sadness
but a curve of the lip,
a smile.
With love
you
have everything,
nothing and
are one….
and have
no need
for
us.
