Illusions

ILLUSIONS Jack Kelly In climbing the pyramid of technology We have discovered new worlds; Worlds which have distanced us From the Spring Which nurtures us From the Light Which guides us. A thread Has become a web Spun with illusions Where we have learned to Love things and use people. Pleasure Wears the mask of intimacy Where the ultimate value Masquerades as A Lean sculptured body With a large bank account. In the dance of life When the music stops We may discover that We are lost and wandering alone In a desert of spiritual isolation. To find the path Which will bring us back To our Source of Nourishment and light We must walk the wilderness between us, and Transform it By gentle and persistent efforts Into a garden of solitude Where we can nurture each other With acts of kindness, unselfishness, and love. ©jackkelly
