Aware
AWARE
Caught up in the pulse
Ever aware of core
Like…you’re sensing a rose –
not image not aroma
but symbolically –
The revelation blossoming
then gone
but lingers as dust
on the threads of being
Aware in each minute
The two faces of existence –
a bone yard
an unreachable blanket of stars
And the entity goes sailing
air thick as gravity
empty as nothing
And in this dilemma confusion
Oh there is art in forgetting
Relief in one’s going astray –
How the cow leaves the pasture
and is lost
Oddly there’s relief in that thought
casting aside the computer
giving up the ghost
Forgetting?
Yes
But only for the moment –
The cow returns to an always renewing pasture
The rose hidden among thorns stings a reminder
Aware
Always aware
