Non-Existence

every word, every sound, every image is abstract
out of abstractions, a personal understanding is extracted
and a reality created, which is nothing more than an unreality
invented by minds that think an identity has been formed

how can we even begin to understand what does or doesn't exist?

one is painted blue, one painted red, among the colors of others
all the same, all non-concrete, all deluded by in-significance
yet from the confines of minds, both yours and mine
abstractions arise from the whispering of blood and nature
