my name is nothing
i came to a place of great sorrow
where every dream lay dying in pain
because i believed i had been
following carefully
i asked my lord
why have you led me to this place
where every dream lies dying?
then i said to the silence:
give me a name
give me a new name
and from deep within
i heard myself say:
my name is Nothing
and for a moment
i felt a great freedom
the burden of myself was lifted
and i saw the world directly
without the interference
of my own dreams
and i understood
why he had brought me here
when my self died
i became part of God
every once in awhile i come across these
disturbingly delightful poems
and they read like little prayers
maybe if you read this
something will happen to your mind
a light will go on and you will say
ah ha
i should hope the poet thus finds some slight satisfaction
in being anonymous here
