The Unnamable
inspired by the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu

I’ll let the nameless
name me.

And travel its resonance
from nothingness
to One.

Ever relinquishing
to more,
to less,

To the unnamable.

The music without
the chairs.
A life pulsed
by the intangible.

I must know
life is a treasure
until I start naming things--
then I need to remember
that would be the end of
what it means to live
the unnamable.
