Holding Nothingness In My Being Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It's not science fiction
Or a story from the cemetery
I hold nothingness in my being
Do not expect me to be full of knowledge
Knowledge is like a bowl of water
To wash my face
Do not attach me to your ideas
Ideas are like leaves, vibrant today and dead tomorrow
I am a sea of nothingness
Like a breeze I don't fear the wind
The wind can only make me stronger
I am unbreakable
Because there is nothing to break
Death cannot touch me
Because there is nothing to kill
A monument of peace
Stand erect in my being
Humility is my dress
Kindness, my crown
I hold nothingness in my being
I am a molecule of Silence
Emptiness is my composition
There is nothing to see
Just an open sea of nothingness
Words come to me
From the land of the unknown
Mysteries to unravel
Curtains to open
Still waters to drink
I am stillness
Body, mind and soul
All garments of Silence
In this state of nothingness
I am full of the unknown
The known is folded
And displayed on the veil of awareness
Awareness is my classroom
My house is Silence
A library of Love
Open 24 hours
Inside my being
