Night • Dawn • Day

There is a place far out at sea
Where I sail to the end of myself –
Where the sky turns into the sea
And the blue blends into me.

•

But I forget that ‘you’ and ‘I’,
Just like the ‘sea’ and ‘sky’
Are words that draw boundaries made 
From our belief in distance and time. 

•

Look at the world around us,
All is divided by the mind –
Made of thoughts that are pasts
To explain the present we find.

•

What is there outside the mind?
No separation or suffering exists.
Just like the ocean and the sky,
I am awareness without limits.

Musings: This is a poem about duality, a state created in the mind. The mind draws boundaries between things that are continuous. Using words as a form of expression has its limitations as words seek to divide nature into separate components.
