Into the Void

Three things cannot Be long Hidden: the sun, the moon and the Truth


- Buddha

I Returned from my Trip to Taipei

My Whole Body had begun to Vibrate

Is This what it means to follow the Way?

Is It some kind of Cosmic ray?

Or All along was It simply fate?

I don't Know what to say

But I'll tell You what happened after just a couple of days

After Being in the Mountains of Taipei

And Feeling the Sound of the Deep Gong

And part of the Greater Universal song 

I'd Felt since a Child

Something was Wrong

Pain and Suffering made

Life seem so long

so much effort to

try and Be Strong

And Now

some thing

In side

told me

We can't go on

With tears my eyes had began to leak

Twenty four years old and my Body felt so weak 

And It came One afternoon I could barely speak

As this Vibration reached it's peak

Something Inside Moving Deep

Told me Now it's time to flee

Sitting outside the teachers room

Feeling Higher than the moon

Jump down the flight of stairs 

Ah good my boss is there

Headache bad, need go Home

I said in an

"I'm about to Die"

kind of tone 

Yes of course she said, looking aghast

As I signed myself out and flew Past

On my bike I hope I Last

Must keep on my outer mask

Just a little longer Keep on track 

But it's too late

no Going back

Under the afternoon sun Blazing

My face and mouth were Shaking

The Entire World was Quaking 

As I flew along the city pavement

And All the buildings they Came Down

And Nothing was there

Not even the Ground

And even I could not Be found

And a Self screamed out

MUUUUUM!!

But even that Concept was Done

And it was blacker than tar

The threads of what I Thought was Reality, ripped apart 

And It was the blackest black

But even half a second It did not Last

And then somehow I was back 

Although It wasn't quite like That

As I had Never really Gone

Just Realised to this world I didn't Truly Belong

And so there my Human Self I still was

Racing along a pavement Feeling utterly Lost

Feeling like I'd jumped out of a tomb

Finally I reached my bedroom

And hurled myself to the Ground

And howled like a dog in a pound

What On Earth had I found?

After a good round of panting and many gasps

I was again pulled Together and I asked

Is this Something I regret?

I smoked a Calming cigarette

Somehow though I Felt set

Yes there was Fear and terror but I'm glad I Met

That which Is Beyond the ego Mind in my head

I got some chocolate into my mouth fed

Settled down and Wondered whatever next?

On That day Something came to an end 

At the Same time Something began again 

A Journey that still goes on

But on the Way I've come to Realise

I'm Never Truly Gone
