Sweet Indifference..

There's a glass wall separating me from my world and I've been banging my head against it.
But it would not break..

A strange reverence and I awaken with sweet indifference to my corruption..

When did my world disown me?
Were my senses too exhausted to function?
My head too cluttered to think?
My heart too dulled to feel?
My capacities too stuttered to flow?
My being too numb to probe?

And how does this rot blossom?
Where does it take root?
Who gives it its soil?
Who nurtures it, waters it, blesses it?

How would you measure the absurd?
How do you express the lack of expression?
When did colors lose their immensity?
When did living lose its essence?

What gods do you bow down to?
Which gods would you look up to?
What grand constructs do you take refuge in?
What pretty moulds do you harden yourself in?
What redemption do you find in this unweeded garden?

A strange reverence and I awaken to sweet indifference in my corruption..
I find myself blossoming in this rot..

The Socratic Method..

Who moves this all, if indeed there be a mover?

Sensitive-and i see,
Voids translating into space,
hollowness chiseled to form,
forms dissolve to be chiseled finer..

Precision stemming from randomness,
noise erupting in music,
order resting in chaos,
rigidity melting to flow.

Moulds harden and crack open..
The sacred fiddles with the absurd,
Life cuddled with death..
Movement rising in stillness.

A reverence for uncertainties,
assertions brimming with doubts.
Dirty slates so i wash them clean.
Bland plates so I taste them better..

Affinity in a dance with aloneness..
Suppression erupting in expression.
Creativity flowering in destruction..
A thing taking root in its opposite.

Who moves this all, if indeed there be a mover?

Krishnamurti

My teacher is simple,
Undistorted and brilliant
Stemming from freedom and blossoming in love..

Ever probing, ever silent.
Taking refuge in his doubts,
Seeing the sacred in the absurd..

And he sings his song..
His own song-indeed.
Unchained and tremendous..

A flower this gentle, and how it blossoms..
A being so complete, a song as sweet.
Unscarred and we question..

Together we probe-brothers in arms..
