Poem about nothing… and everything: Blooming

Jaimin L. Symonds Patel meditates on the boundless creativity that comes from clearing your mind
Try, in your mind,
Something, that is nothing,
Not anything that might take form,
Not anything that might disperse colour,
Not anything that might give sound,
Taste nor scent.
Whatever might be,
Say that it is not that,
Not anything you imagine to be,
Nor was,
Nor will be.
And to whatever might be left,
Apply to it the same negation,
So that no thing,
In all entirety,
Surpasses nothing,
To become everything,
And anything.
Jaimin is a graduate of Imperial College London in Civil Engineering MEng. Besides engineering, his interests lie within language learning, programming, calligraphy, history, religion and philosophy. In terms of writing, he composes poems and informal essays.
