The Cuckoos Nest

We see furtive looks Mired in gluey fears Their minds hypnotised In ego bubbles Imaginary Help is at hand In glowing heart Each breath we take Offers fresh start What to say What to do But to pray Become Empty Now 29-December-2020

Reworded: save in the vibrant void of silence, we are in hypnotic thought trance springing from desire mirrored by fear. Thought free awareness or meditation/ prayer/ stillness sets us free

I love a good bird metaphor poem, and the cuckoo. Wonderfully wise. xomo

Lots of people have been feeling rather empty of late, Seeker. Let's hold on to the hope of a better year. Happy one to you.

That's a whole new can of worms. Those with an ego that needs constant stroking really are pathetic. Sorry to have misinterpreted your intent.

Thanks Jenna. I was alluding to ego borne delusion/ madness, although it is natural in these times to associate it with the pandemic.
