Clarity in the Strange

CuldeSac
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
