I sit and watch
The sands, the grasses, the birds, man
Sometimes I disappear into the lightest creatures breeze
The salts of the seas
Pull myself back, needing to breathe
Then that though peaks through
The one loitering at the back of my mind in quandary
Probably yours too
 
How did this all happen?
 
Out pours the list of ideas, beliefs and thoughts
From three trillion, to seven thousand, to naught
I have to stop before I lose myself
Today I stopped here...
 
Broken
In a milky way of a galaxy of the universe we are in
Planet earth 
Mankind
Is a gallstone

Yugen - a word I recently discovered, originating in Japanese and Chinese is beautiful in itself and describes what often goes on in many minds. An awareness of the universe that triggers emotional responses that are too mysterious and deep for words and a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe…and the sad beauty of human suffering.
