Who Is This Awareness
Who is this awareness you seem to be
who is this wandering wonderer
who seldom asks enough
and takes too little
of the plenty
that lays
within
thinking
that somehow
there is plenty without
and yet you are nothing of substance
that cannot change as quickly as the wind
though you may see this truth you turn away
again and again until the end of your chapter
when the closing thought comes too late
the printing is already done too soon
or so you seem to love to know
and convince yourself again
in the morning mirror
where you hate
some thing
in you
but
I
do
love
this wonder
who you surely are
this sweet treasure that lays
yet undiscovered beyond your reach
only because you will not believe what you know
only because you will not touch what lays
already within your open hand
that you keep closed
around this gem
that I call
you
