A Short Burst of Flame, Being Here
Notice:
In the greater scope of things…
No matter how strong each is in arriving
Little matter, for when arriving
Each arrives alone … surviving to need.
‘Alone’, I say
We arrive
Each coming as a babe...
Having a humble
Quiet understanding inside
Knowing within ancient wisdom’s comfort...
‘I arrive here, yes...
Though alone
Not to be forgotten.’
For yes too, in right Time
Balancing out true...
‘I must then leave here too... alone;
Memories, learning’s
And new awareness’s...
Being my only luggage.
Baggage ingested
To carry me on...
Into future abodes.
____*____
All cheer...
Knowing within this
There is ultimate truth…
‘In passing, if nothing else comes along
Except memories in song… what have I
What have we, learned?’
Ah, the supreme result strides boldly forth...
With the reason needed
For a life’s passage.
And then does the Wheel turn.. and turns
Seeking answer from anywhere...
For more.
Saving its final answer for the day
When called upon to report…
Time passaging versus evolution.
___*___
For so many lie sleeping
So many others left wondering…
Not even knowing where they are
Only that they are, in a returning...
With It is, as Is, reporting it’s truth.
With agreed agenda arriving for accounting
Providing only now true, balanced right answers
Leaving all else folded back in Time.
What was truly learned
Was intent satisfied?
Most times, with surprises evoking a smile…
Meanings become clearer
Leaving then... to go on from there…
Returning once more to life, with fresh intent.
So does the wheel keep turning.
