What Do You Mean?


What do you mean?

Why do you need to mean?

Atoms are made of rhythm and sound,

not meaning.

Blossoms, trees, and forests are made

of rhythm and sound, 

not meaning.

Clustering spirals of rhythm and sound,

galaxies don’t mean anything.

What does this poem mean?

Nothing. 

It's just rhythm and sound.

For a moment, friend,

on a Sabbath morning,

give up the work,

give up the search 

for meaning.

Just breathe, circling round

a great emptiness

filled with the rhythm and sound 

of love.

God doesn't mean.

God whirls and sings.
