Heads or Tales

There are always
two sides to every coin.
Every story can be told
this way and that.

This is why the wise
have only ever said two things.
They have said one thing,
they have said its opposite,
and they have said
become a witness.

This is why the wise have
only ever said one thing:
neither heads nor tails;
for in witnessing
we enter the silent sky
that the coin of life
is endlessly spinning in.

This is why the wise
have only ever said
Nothing.
