Ranting Thoughts Come From Sleep 06-2014
I am not here
I do not exist
My screams are silent and go unheard
everything is pointless
in sleep comes dreams
that radiate peace
they tell me everything will be okay
though beautiful
the creatures be
though beautiful the galaxies
though enormous the feeling
of connection with
everything and nothing
when I awake they're gone
they were not real
they were just dreams
like myself
the imaginings of other beings
people see what they want to see
people perceive what they are given
in dreams
it encompasses everything and nothing
it all exists as one
and upon waking
it all becomes divided
and even "nothing"
no longer exists
except in the minds of those
whom try to transcend
their bodies, minds and souls
thinking they understand enough
to accept that knowledge
and that nothing is something to be achieved
without understanding
that nothing is everything
and everything is nothing
it is simply a state of being
and this place
it's not a state of being
it is a state of experience
a state of existing as a piece of an unknown whole
separated from that which would give
the ultimate content
a being of nothing and everything at once
but here, while in this plane
I experience and exist
in the minds of others
sent to perceive
to give the whole
the rest
an understanding of existence
while I long for completion
and link back to nothing
I exist, but I don't
and the screams of my experience
go unheard
because they are a piece
only part
and the whole
of everything and nothing
is greater than just that piece
one cannot transcend
that which they have been given
until it is given and taken back
into the whole
no longer a separate piece
the experience absorbed
and become a part again
of nothing and everything
then it will be heard
to exist it to experience
one cannot escape their existence
by death
they have to accept and will be accepted by the whole
