Time does not exist

 Nanne Nyander  Poems and Paintings 





The past is not just a long time ago,

 it’s also one second ago.
But the past does not exist,

 time does not exist.
So what’s the difference?

The experience of being me is a thought. 

I’m dissolving into nothing.

Sleep no more

 Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings



Am I trapped in a thought?

Or are thoughts trapped in me,

as an endless loop 

of nonsensical words and images?


-Nanne Nyander

Sleep no more.
I’m vigilant of thoughts coming to 

drag me away, 

drag me away, far, far away 

to the land of oblivion.
I’m standing firm and solid in reality.
The mind invites me to tag along
to the most intriguing places.
But I’m on my guard,
I’m not as gullible as I once was.
No more sleepwalking 

in the land of Oblivion. 

I’m the truth,
I’m reality,
I am Awake.

Endless Journey

 Nanne Nyander Poems and Paintings 





Mars 2025 nannenyander.se




The mind is brilliant,

but now I’m better prepared.

I know its tricks, I know not to get on the train. 

The train of thoughts can take me on an 

endless journey,

mostly to places I don’t find fascinating anymore. 

I still sometimes find myself on the train,

but now I know where the emergency brake is. 

I’d rather sit on a hill far, far away,

and just watch the trains passing by.

Nothing Ever Happened

Without thought,

time can no longer exist.

The illusion of time is just made up of thought. 

Does that mean nothing ever happened?

If I don’t go to thought, there is only now.

A sad feeling of losing everything,

of losing everyone, hits me like a gigantic wave.

 Being nothing in a big ocean of nothing.

 Like I’m waking up from a dream,

it’s all gone, it never did exist.

It leaves an empty feeling that lingers, 

and slowly, slowly it disappears. 

But it’s all thought.

Nothing ever happened.


-Nanne Nyander
