The nothing box

 

The nothing box,

a padded room

without locks.

Soundproofed

to stop

intrusive voices

from

kicking off.

 

It's the place we sit,

when we desire

peace for a bit,

or when thoughts

become a little too intrusive.

It’s where we go when we seem

to be having deep insights,

it's our recharging station,

boosting our batteries

back to life.

It's a place where thoughts

drift out of the room,

edging ever closer to space.

It's our fortress of solitude

away from the gloom,

where we can set the pace.

 

To picture it is impossible,

as soon as you start to look around

all thought and sound

dissolves into the ground.

It's a blank void of consciousness.

No colour, or objects

just a well of faded darkness.

In the nothing box

we are not really there.

In the nothing box

we are just atoms

charging on the air.

 

So, when you ask

where our minds

have wandered off to,

when you start believing

that we are

hiding something from you,

that there must be

something beyond our view.

When we reply to

"What are you thinking about"

with a simple "nothing", it's true.

This isn't deception creeping in,

We have just been floating

in the box, recharging.
