Zigzag
Sudden realisation
Comes after
Myriad detours
Going round
And round
In mindless circles
Seeking yet
Not finding
Incomplete knowing
Distracted by
Insidious niceness
Holding nothing
Steering off
The main road
Of sure awareness
Going south
When seeking north
Beyond purgatory
Blazing in hell
When heaven calls
With gracious echoes
Happy with
Empty waste
When fullness abounds
Petty excuses
For silly ego
And proud discontent
Right focus
For wrong reasons
In zigzag madness
Stumbling blindly
And falling into
Quicksand quagmire
Unnecessary pain
When grace showers
A helping hand
Unaware
Of true blessings
In a senseless bind
