The Onliest Place

I've since forgotten nearly now All my schooling, my meditations I am where I am, my tracks all gone Gurus, the sentients, seers, sages Enlightened speakers through the ages Only conclusions, refrains remain I hear loud voices along the way Their slogans, sayings, mere repetitions Arguments of logic: Descartes, Sartre Shadowy souls of philosophy past Silent statues sounding shallow words In corridors of museums of thought Feeling a self-imposed island Then who to turn to, except myself Comforts of ego, identity once known Deception consumes my reality It's lonely here - onliest here The place of no illusion, no paths Letting go, one of the toughest things Cannot say what benefits it brings My trail, my wake, has dissipated No one to see my self dissolution Allay fears, dry my tears, prod my peers This, the unique uncommon moment Now is the time for my commitment Observing for me has long been done Every solitary step: best be brave The ringing bell can't be unrung Reality's song can't be unsung Reality has no forward or back No such thing as time, only being Just me to face, the onliest place 10/20
