distance

an unpleasant dream

revealing a nightmare

revealing the distance from

the life being lived

to

the reality perceived

revealing that

somewhere

along the road

the capacity to perceive

was lost

leaving behind

an illusion of understanding

which obstructs

the way

leading to

life

contrite

freedom occurs

where we are given

to answer

our call

whatever

that call

might be

courage is requested

to take the time

discerning

what our call

is made of

wisdom settles

while we live it

with a humble

and contrite heart

delivering

living every moment as

a new beginning

embracing the past

loving the future

delivering the present

assuring

when we are

ahead

of the present moment

to fulfil the past

and assure the future

desire is turning into

greed

the sacred is

no more

and every kind of moral

is lost

moral

when desire is

embedded

in its proper nature

the sacred unfolds

naturally

and moral manifests

mercifully

intently

being misunderstood

is not

the end of the world

as long

as there is awareness

this is what

happens

no matter how intently

the fact is being

remonstrated

ripples

mirroring

the quietude

of the eternal

into

the world

with no ripples

on the water

no noise

in the air

no cloud

covering the sun

sheer

transparency

mirrored

into clarity

mere

when our perceptions

have been twisted

into a meaning

contradicting

what was perceived

even with the best of intentions

the fundament

of our being

in this world

is fundamentally

unstable

until the day

our perceptions

are granted

the honour

they deserve

and the meaning forged

by understanding

dissolves by mere

observations
