Is the Search Over
I’m a man of many theories
based on life and death alone,
With my human head buried
intrinsically in the ground,
A limited lack of imagination
stymied by reason I’ve found.
If I’m to find real answers
must think outside the box,
Not be influenced by gravity
or limited by speed of light,
Have to negotiate laterally
ignore what’s in plain sight.
Completely revisit history, by
traveling sideways in time,
Lose the shackles of sanity
rid the straitjacket that’s life,
Take god by the hand walk on
water, ask him what is choice.
Deduction simply not working
Going forward leads to death,
Eyes are merely for vision
blind spots behind my head,
Is this a nervous breakdown
No! but skin is being shed.
Free will comes in many forms
mine’s embedded in truth,
Which in turn’s surrounded by
doubt, caught in a web of lies,
Each time I peel back a lair
another one seems to arise,
My task appears impossible and
that’s probably true for you,
But this is my world remember
in here I can bend the rules,
No need for toxic parameters
also free from fossilized fuel.
I’m talking about spirituality
not religion or naked science,
Bringing the poles together
incompatible basic ideals,
Find harmony in translation
communion that actually heals.
I sit alone atop my mountain
leave torment down below,
Take deep breaths of fresh air
purge anguish from my soul,
Fall into a trance of reclusion
Quasi seance of self-control.
I’ve transcended into nirvana
shrouded inside cirrus clouds,
A veil of silence surrounds me
Karma’s a relic of the past,
Not a life or death situation
at one with the cosmos at last,
Gone is delusion
Gone is the lie
Gone is persuasion
Gone is the urge to die
I want for zilch and live for all
in a heaven without any gods,
No need for tears or laughter
blinded by bliss so bright,
That’s it yes, I’ve found myself
within the infinite cycle of life.
