Revelation

Shattering and scattering

And a world comes back

Into itself

World within a world

Memories flood back

Karma or fate

anyways it's the same

And one to die

One to break

To be thankful later

And weep in gratitude

But the ego is a fragile thing

And cracks can be taped up

But their marks remain

Etching and re-etching with fingers

Till the tapes break open

And cracks gape open

But people learn

Things change, we grow

Older, wiser, weaker

For strength is sapped away

When you are a child

When you don't need assurances

When you have your own

World within a world

Shattering and scattering

What comes next?

To do what needs to be done

And live, freely, fully

Not taking advantage,

Not judging, not promoting

Not assuming

A world within a world

A search to find that core

Of contentment, of love, of work

Of focus, of power and will

There is, simply is more to life

Than just this

No need to hide

Or to judge

Or to lie

Or to cry

There is more to life, like hammocks

And the play of afternoon light against trees

And the laughter of a delighted child

And the way an ocean sparkles in the light

How fairy tales exist, if you believe

And the wonders never cease

And treasuring is more important

Than judging and hoarding

Like a miser, analysing and blaming

Work on yourself, since you are

You exist, for you

Therefore you must live

Or die in the pages of a book

Immortal but sad
