One Perfect Moment

Upon awakening I lay within This one perfect moment Poised between two worlds One is of dreams – Possibilities not yet shaped The other is of effects – Life’s karma realized Still in a dreamy trance Life is a pleasant blur The hard lens of necessity Not yet in focus Softness Stills my heart’s anxiousness Sleep’s cocoon rocks me Quieting the awakening voices I’m hesitant to choose I’m so comfortable So many possibilities Open to me Yet reality lies beyond Sleep’s protective veil And I realize Even in dreams Perfection does not exist The spirit is punctuated By mind’s knowledge That it must awaken To what is Is there another world calling me? Can I scale the rainbow’s arc To a higher dimension? Beyond suffering and pain Beyond pleasure’s brief interludes To rapture and joy Perhaps the answer lies In this envelope Between dreaming And living. In this One perfect moment Oct 2011 K
