there is nothing to do here

nothing to accomplish

nothing to achieve

no expectations , and

no assignment to complete

no instructions to follow

no direction to go in

no map to refer to , and

no road to travel on

no goal to attain

no prize to win

no reward to claim , and

no deadline to meet

with the veil lifted

with cares and fears and briefs and perceptions

momentarily suspended.

I look around and see my world

for the first time

and I can't help but notice

that there is nothing to do here

     no meaning

    no purpose

    no point , and

    no reason for being

       until ...........

    I creat one

there is nothing to do

but to decide who I am,

to become who I am, and

to be who I am,

according to me

so , with crayon in hand ,

  I color my world ................

with nobody to impress

and nobody to blame ,

it's up to me to choose carefully ,

and to accept responsibility

as my choices , my colors

and continually reflected

  all around me

and I give thanks

for these new eyes ,

for this preception of the meaningless ,

   of the nothingness of it all ................

      for it is here

that I am able to see

    everything
