Nonchalant eye

when a close one dies, we realise
we are looking at waves, not the ocean
light of our true Self, delusion decries
eye of wisdom calming commotion

Ah this is like an eye opener, especially “ we are looking at waves not the ocean “ how true and deep is that metaphor one that would stay in my mind for a very long time. I absolutely loved this dear seeker. Congratulations on your win too.
