   Day after day returning   
   Reminds me of a mirror   
   Without any dust on it   
   Reflecting simply being.   
      
   Suddenly there is not one.   
   No reflections. No mirror.   
   No nothing two speak of.   
      
   Being full of emptiness Way   
   more than half a bottle or can   
   could mean it's time for an other   
   going round after round and then.   
      
   What did he say about nothing.   
   A koan for our atheist friends.   
   When a deity created them.   
   Before they were born.   
      
   Their minds were nebulous.   
   Like Chuang Tzu's wife.   
   She returns to me now again.   
      
   - thanx! Cheers!
