Analysis of Nothingness.
Rachel Hanley. 1996 (Laois)
Can you see nothing?
Or is nothing seeing you?
What does it cost you for being true?
Not only thought has now guided.
New emptiness set sail.
Can you forgive if you already forgot?
Dare and relive kindly.
Has everything and repeatedly takes.
What has greater value?
Wanting more or being grateful?
Just understand so time can evolve.
Choose stillness.
Courage always leads many.
You have to know fear to be brave.
Living only sacrifices time.
Dalm
Doubt always lies manically.
Corruption always leads many.
The hungry always feeds many.
Its not about what if or what can be.
Its about what is.
Universe
Upon now is vision exposes reality,
Seeing everything.
