Retracing Our Steps

RETRACING OUR STEPS

Trapped in an ego dance
Stalking the elusive happiness
The folly of planning takes me down
Habit cage reminds me

Longing for duty without restlessness
I wish to long no more
   for the world and its bitter fruits

All this coming and going makes me dizzy
Full moon pulls me every which way
Scattered and divided
How did we end up here?

Perhaps tomorrow will shine with ease
Perhaps not
What will become of all these struggles?
Our only companion is the changing moment
If only to know her as a lover - intimately
We tend to the body like a mother to a crying child
Unable to settle her pangs and worries

Blown by the wind for aeons upon aeons
Plant dream seeds of  real change
Courting the legendary realm-state of naked awareness
A child pretending
Still wondering what is real

Crying out for support, momentum, luck

A world full of strangers  yet kin questing the same gold
Betting on hopes and folding on fears
Lost in activity and its demands
But alas its just words
