What Is Awareness

One would think that knowing
Means to be aware
Then with time and little honesty
Finding there was only wishful thinking there

The truth is slippery
To a soul with changing perceptions
What appeared to be an oasis,
Was really a soul-debilitating deception

Isn't everything in motion?
Atoms, planets, the galaxy
Then we create new religions
Making truth of stagnancy

Perhaps this realization
That we are myth surfers in constant motion
Is an advancement toward our heaven
That awareness is an endlessly expanding ocean
