It is not about nothing

It is not about nothing

It is not about gods and demons,

About day and night,

About poverty and wealth,

About morality and health,

It is not about nothing.

It is about a child molested with words

Kind, soothing and accepting,

It is not about a woman

Feeding the world with her breasts,

It is not about nothing.

It is not about a name,

It is not about image

Like the water in a mirage,

Not about the butter in the boiling milk,

Not about the fragrance in the air unseen,

It is not about nothing.

It is not about light,

Not about darkness,

Not about blindness and vision,

Not about ignorance and wisdom,

Not about the renouncer and the renounced,

Not about I and You.

I am curious to know what it is about,

My restless mind is calming me down

In subjugation,

And yet it wants to know what it is about,

It is not about the dubiousness of

Nothing matters,

It is not about nothing.
