Last Chance

I went into a trance and saw
nothing. I meditated inward and
felt emptiness. 

Then I realized; without understanding 
what once was, and is now, how can
revelations carress my conscious
mind with knowledge of the
unfathomable?

How can I appreciate translucent 
thought without also sanctifying 
flesh and emotional conveyances which 
long for my embrace?

But alas, I have fled from these 
truths for so long, I don't even 
hear their words; only lips moving 
in silent pleas, weeping for the 
future with searing laughter.

I must awake or I won't appreciate 
The Gift!

We are so afraid to try that we 
constantly hide within the sheltering 
teardrops we cry.

If we don't wipe away our blurred
vision and embrace Life before
it's too late, we will never know
the answer to that personal
question "WHY?"
