The Dragon

Far, far away, in an empty castle,
a dragon has been slumbering quietly
for many long years.
Then suddenly something slowly woke it up. 

Now it’s consuming everything I have built up, 

my sandcastle has turned into ruins.
It keeps destroying everything I thought was me. 

Till I suddenly one day realise,
I am the dragon.

Invisible me

 Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings




What would happen to the sky 
if the sky thought it was a cloud?

Invisible me, no thoughts to see, 

no thoughts.
Invisible me, 
running past a tree, 

running for the sea. 

Listen,
I’m the sound of rain, 

pouring over me.

 Invisible me, nothing to see,
nothing to be,
nothing.

Liberation

 Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings





She who thinks she knows, does not know. 
She who knows that she does not know,
 is on her way to liberation.

-Nanne Nyander "The Silence of Awareness"







Next stop, 
eternal nothingness.
I’m getting off here. 
Will you come with me?
I turn to you, 
here we go, here comes nothing.
I throw myself off into nothingness without thinking. 
Leave thinking behind and join me.
No thinking, no mind, no story,
nothing, no thing.
I left my luggage behind.
I’m finally free.
