Nothing unsealed.
Soul persist.
Nothing revealed.
Soul desist.
Nothing concealed,
Nothing exists.

My Thought process:
(A souls journey, existence stripped to its core, cold)
- “Nothing unsealed.” If “nothing” could be unsealed, it would reveal itself, which makes it “something.” This paradox implies the birth of the universe here.
- “Soul persist.” life/soul arises
- “Nothing revealed.” Here “nothing” takes on a new definition: absence of ultimate meaning, truth isn’t revealed.
- “Soul desist.” The soul ends, death
- “Nothing concealed.” Reverse nr 1. Once there’s no observer (soul gone)(death of universe) Abscence of something, the main pareimeter for "nothing" is set up:
- “Nothing exists. ”Nothing” can finally be said to "exist" — paradox complete.

This what i came here for! Much appreciated. Lesson: No damn instruction manual to poem, make sure every word unbreakable/logical
