How is it
That this deep, deep yearning
To serve
Can come from such a place
Of Emptiness
.
How is it
That I am to guide others
If the center that leads
Is of Nothingness–
No form
No vision
No solid
Identity?
.
How is it
That I am to reach others
For You
If the marketing plan
Requires somethingness to advertise?
.
How is it
That what seems to be the yearning
To serve in some particular way
Is annihilated by the very source
Of this yearning?
.
Sometimes I wonder
Whether I’m toeing a tight line
Between dissociation
Of forgetting myself
Why I am here
What I am here to do
What I want to do
As compared
To a state of Emptiness
That so many teachers
Have taught is the Way
.
Toeing the line
Between diagnosis
And channeling
Or some other
Sacred
Strange
Thing
.
A Thing
That keeps me forgetting
That keeps me from re-membering
Why I am here
What I am doing here
What I want to do here
What do I want to do here?
Why do I keep
Forgetting?
.
Tell me
Please
If I am to serve, this yearning
How do I post
How do I gram
How do I module
Something that is…
Nothing?
.
Something I keep grasping
Just for one moment
And then watch it slipping
Slithering
Evanescent
Away?
.
Is it a call to presence
To hold space for another
Without any plan?
Carved
And carved
And carved
Until presence
Is all I can offer?
.
Tell me
How does one serve
How does one serve
How does one serve
From the Emptiness
From the Void
From
.
The Abyss?
