Nothing To Own Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

Nothing To Own

Rating: 5.0


Thesky puts emphasis on the definite times,
and things, that leads to this immeasurable joy the material things you crave to own with your tactile touch

or an ocean across,
calling you to come away, become you, so undone and to be perfected barely acknowledging and becoming someone.else and rich.

Atreasured chest moments when you first encountered love for a someoneas memorable as your self

The tide did change, the weather stoked the sky for vicissitudes

now contend that life had become you, your air and much more.

And that was you before the other before you would have understood,
This is all for naught, nothing's clear and nothing is truthful,

all air indivisible, insincere,
just plays words, deeds and actions

The field is an empty rows and defunct memorabilia's,

Everything you have done becoming another mans worries


In vain, we humour the southern wind and deity, pay homage to the clear blue skies,

Be one of didactic and even philosophical

Entrepreneur ofthe world and father of the day.

So much to know but hard to understand
Tranquility breeds purpose and then more silence

The door leads to a field of open vistas
And beyond

There never was anything
that we have beengiven to own.

So much to know but hard to understand Tranquility breeds purpose and then more silence The door leads to a field of open vistas And beyond. We come and go. we are born and we die without owning anything- actually we are in illusion when we think that we possess. a revealing thought. tony
