Whispers

 

I can hear a distant whisper, 

a whisper beyond time.

It whispers not to the mind, 

but to itself.

I listen and think I know what it’s saying, 

but I’m just in the way. 

Listen, be silent, don’t think.

It speaks not to the mind, 

but to the silence itself.

The silence that I am.

Life

 

Am I avoiding life, or is life avoiding me?  
"The Way Back Home"

Mind is fine with being bored, 

desperate, confused, fed up.

It likes being the one who is sad and depressed. 

This is not what I want,

but the mind doesn’t mind.

I want to be free and happy.

Mind doesn’t mind either way. 

Mind is holding me in a tight grip, 

wanting me to stay.

Unconditional Love

Silence will take me there. 

There is nothing but silence, 

noise can’t interrupt the silence, 

and neither can thoughts. 

No matter how loud my mind is, 

there is still silence.

Unconditional Love by Nanne Nyander

All I can think of is you.
When will I be reunited with my true love? 

There is no when, 

there is no then, 

there is only now. 

See, feel, don’t think.
No thought can take me there,
no amount of thinking can take me there. 

Thought keeps the distance visible 

between me and my beloved.
