Clarity in the Strange
I often forget about the dependencies Picking angles on certain topics I realize that I am not mindful And that I will consequently Never be And so I suppose that I was mindful Of everything including oxygen And how the spinning earth Is the cause for seasons And I see that it is pointless It seems as though Neither being focused Nor mindful really matters And so instead I empty my mind out Roman letters become foreign to me I become a man Who has lived a million lives And suddenly I understand Solomon When he says the unborn are better off This is not very constructive So I mix it all up Lost in my focus Found in my awareness At peace in my enlightenment I realize that life is a curse But that the beauty in it is a blessing To work and eat and find my satisfaction I wrote for you this verse To share your life with you We go chasing for what is out there While forgetting that the earth Has its own trajectory We know not what we do Looking for what is best To carry us to our death beds But what is most important Is to do it in truth For that is where love is And that is why we wrote this poem To comfort you in quiet times When you do remember what you do For it is the same intellectual faculty That reminds you of pointlessness Consequently defeating this It comes full circle I become your family I leave you alone One does not rant about the ego For it also makes this noise
