Mind-emptiest, mine deeply.

Below subconscious

By Paul BeckettPublished 9 months ago Updated 9 months ago 1 min read

Mind-emptiest, mine deeply.

I don’t mind? That’s merely folly,

An uncomfortable presentation.

The postponement of stillness.

A contamination blight-sight.

The huge un fulfilment incarnate.

Disproportionate.

If ever there was, a statement,

So devoid of sincerity’s chains.

Such a calamitous collision,

Of thoughtless indecision.

It’s this, thus impetuous’s thrust.

We cannot escape complexities,

Grasp, so embedded in sentient,

Cognitive ‘must’! Yet, must we?

We are the Observers. Observe.

Comprehensions the chatter,

To truly be mindful takes,

Shifts from this distraction.

To wade in dark matters, alone

Depth charging silence’s,

Wondrous precarious caution.

No hide for false personas,

The gift, your not given,

Yet choose to espouse,

The decisions of others.

Conditioning is, the ratification,

Of following all didactic indication.

Provocations plaid.

The voyage, embarked upon,

Births gateway to endings,

Is unique to all, yet majority,

Stumble at this initial hurdle.

The shame of representing,

Unpopular views, to stand

Upon fences, shouting at vows,

Is why we exist, to question,

Revelation, it’s to our undoing,

Not tripping over misgivings.

In prevarication vexations.

Constrictions, uniqueness,

The bottle that’s necked,

A tightness, inner sensed,

From thorax to face.

Eliminate them under-extend.

Indeed, just breathing,

Is conscious enough.

No self depreciation,

Analytics mis trust.

To flatten the sine wave,

To slow up your output,

The minds already made,

Sleeping sure in its comfort.

Empty the chess board pieces.

The prerequisite validation,

A necessary release into,

A wordless, action-free,

Ultimately deed-less existing

It’s transparent-see.
