Illusions

Wanting to be in the arms of love, longing from the 
loneliness that time bestows upon the soul.
A reminder of that single-mindedness from the timeless pool of the void, 
from beginningless time we have always been alone.
From some part of self, maybe the imagination, 
and within that limitless power
The illusion of the many lives by the multitude all
coming into being, laughing, crying, hurting, and suffering.
"I", "Me", "Mine" - self-centered battling ego's
all dying in time

Much love,
Paul

This is why we need to like ourselves, and nurture ourselves and love ourselves, Paul. Thank you for the reminder. "we have always been alone."
