A Revision of An Old Poem

are we nothing more than energy and empty space?*
an evolved form of lightening and dust?
-----(I love you because you do not seem to care)
innocent of the quantum leaps of quantum science, you say
"emotion is the highest form of currency”
-----(if that were true, I could buy you anything - love is change)
no, love is chemicals, and tears(?)**
-----(what are tears but chemical?)
only saline solutions for problems of the heart
-----(solutions and symptoms - answers and questions)
but the answers are questions too
begging silence to be found in the space of two breaths***

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Nothing but lightening and dust.

3. “So with each breath you are dying and being reborn. The gap between the two is of a very short duration, but keen, sincere observation and attention will make you feel the gap. If you can feel the gap, you have got a glimpse of the witness, the sakshi within you. With practice you can expand the gap and experience profound silence.” – Osho, The Book of Secrets (1977)
Note: sakshi – noun (lit.) witness
