thundering silence

i just realized
i am noise
that's it
the extent of it
simply noise
for like noise, i must huff and puff
to maintain form
but also like noise
collapse into silence
so quickly!
and so quickly become
so nothing
just this breathing
this walking
in the fog...
;-)

Somehow the sound of our own voice
perhaps played back on some old real to real
doesn’t quite belong to us
It’s someone just slightly other
then the one I know
this beast machine
that walks and talks
shits and loves
And I know it might sound like you’re just noise,
but from here
darling, I hear your music
thank you,dear doug, for the sentiment ;-)
it’s like noise is an effort
else it collapses into silence
and so it is with my illusory “self”
it must be pumped ceaselessly with importance to exist at all
else it collapses into the void
and becomes the pure awareness beneath and permeating the “interface”
which can be seen to be a shimmer
an aurora borealis
a refraction
a rainbow
a mirage
as if we are a hologram resulting from crossing of beams
in the midst of infinite continuums
which makes believe it is made of more than light
in congruence at a lower velocity
and taking the form of matter
so it is this sense of the self imploding
into its absence
like noise implodes into silence
it was almost debilitating! to see this
for a little bit, until i got my bearings
and it got normal
to be nothing but the huff and puff it takes
to keep me here…
;-)
thank you for sharing this journey with me!
