arising, sustaining, and passing away

[stonerfromohio]

Roll with emotions
destroying intellectual notions
Electrical potions
Waves that course through this body
Feelings, thoughts, perceptions
Storms of entanglement
And pain pass through
Quick to dissolve nowhere to stick
No place for anything to click
its like the end of the wick is burnt
Everything's been spent
Dont know where I went
Every way my minds been bent
But through it all I just watch
Like its impersonal
Every sound
Each touch
just sensations
Coming and going
Its all so quick to vanish
Into unknown
No concrete understanding
Just arising and falling ideas
Put on worldviews like masks
See through them all
But nothing gives order
to the chaos around
The tides of phenomena come in and go out
Opposites intertwine
I know nothing is mine
Walking a fine line
Between sanity
And delusion
Everything is a fusion
A balance
Serene pools of bliss float through space
Used to cling
And sing when they came
But now its seen that they pass too
Whats to strive for when it all ends
The illusion of solidity has vanished
Banished in the seeing that its all a dream
Appearances arent what they seem
You cant know beauty without ugly
Or light without dark
Self without other
Opposites create the illusion of separate things
But its all really just the same
Mystery
Unknowable
Ungraspable
Luminous
Perfectly arising, sustaining, and passing away
Nothing to do, and nowhere to go
Even the wind will blow through what I am

That is quite beautiful

I love the sort of yin/yang dichotomy and the way you convey the fuzziness of experience and thus of knowledge. I sympathise with those feelings.
