A Privilege

Imagine that there is something beyond imagination

an oxymoron of course but a real task nevertheless

There may be no God not even spirituality suffices

but the whole is much greater than the sum of all parts


The Universe grants freedom from self-righteousness

offers me to let go off megalomanic delusions of grandeur

makes my light shine in illumination and its shadows

paints a picture with no centre other than kindness and love


Unorthodox and conforming to nothing but compassion

the tiny wee little Me takes its right place in the crowd

at liberty to breathe feel think and reason for meaning

to resonate reflect condense for a moment in infinite time


Like a novel it reaches out from beginning to the end

states a point here and there and connects small dots

that swell into an epic and ephemeral narration to tell

soon forgotten but a blob on the pages as good as it can


Another book will take its place on the library shelf

liberated from its companions to start a new venture

to reconstruct and make its mark on literal essence

Fly free my soul and expound my purpose for free

Hey Kai, Isn’t it great to be able to see the possibilities of the universe, through the minds eye, if only for a fleeting moment, I enjoyed the transcendence throughout, effortlessly penned, cheers David
