So often we give too little acknowledgment to the process of maturing.

One's Shadowless Moment That which we embrace That which we shun That which we serve Assimilation Man's strange bedfellow Remaining often long in the wings Allowing shadow-light to become constant Inviting ghost-like impressions Enjoin one's timeless opacity of reason Edification reveals Experience rejecting idleness Determined to share Clover-rich bounty Free of any fear Sagacity being void of threat As predators ignorant Discover wisdom unconquerable Sageness Prepares its ungloved hands To wave its alert Ready to allow Hidden time to luminesce Discernment Cautious to act Knowing empirical reality Must first pass through Emotion's unreliability Patiently pauses White hot focus holds sway Peripheral resistance wanes Fractions Equations Formulae satiated Acceptance invites convergence Consciousness Once in asylum No longer struggling to be Stands naked at last Heart and mind fused Light embodying darkness Like the ever-forming oneness Of sunrise comprising sunset Birth ripening awaited death
