Illuminate

 I will lay down this evening, but before turning out the light

Enjoy this moment in awareness where ALL is exactly right

For life’s paradox, a few may ever come to understand

The more we learn, the LESS we comprehend

The common man before his plight may wonder, having seen only through his body’s eye

There is no moment in this life to be forsaken, before we die

The cosmic universe, God, the creator, or from whatever religion you speak

Be wary of dogmatic belief, and of MAYA, sustaining the weak

No ship hath gone to wreck

where it’s purpose was left unfulfilled

No tear cried, nor pain felt, word left unsaid

That should ever go unwelcome, on this night, before bed.
