Ode to Nothing (II)


Nothing
provides a spark
quite like Nothing

The nimbus within
that glows in repose

Close your eyes to
see it more clearly

There it hovers
just beyond
 the tip of
your nose

This is part of a series of poems each of which I've composed while meditating.  By necessity they are short, since my memory is shoddy and I simply can't retain more than a stanza or two at most.  It also seems out of keeping with the spirit of meditation to get bogged down in wordiness.

You can read an earlier meditation poem of the same name here, and you can read the first meditation poem in the series here.
