A longing and a dreadful fear

July 4, 2023

There

Was

A longing,

And a

Dreadful fear.

Fear

Of the void,

Of emptiness,

Of darkness..

Of nothing.

In the seeming

Experience

It felt much more

Like the void

Coming for me,

Than me going

Into it!

There is

Only the void,

The void is

Everything.

The presence

And the absence

Of everything

Are not two.

There was never

Anything I had

That was lost

To the void.

The one who

Who felt he had

Already wasn't.

So.. no,

Nothing

Is necessary,

No one

Becomes

Liberated,

Awakened,

Or enlightened.

There is

Simply

No becoming.
