I once had the energy
Dedicated to this science
This religion of life
Until the cosmic ocean
Swept over me
And left me drained
Of all cares
And strife
I noticed the trees
Offering illusionary Shade
The appeal of nighttime
Flowers still bestowing
Their aroma
And stillness lingering in air
The eternal essence of being
Helped me realize my ego
Was the only thing holding me
A captive to what all fear
Yet to run away and be free
And connect with cosmic ether
Always drew me closer
Kept me near
The freedom of allowing
These moments of stillness
Pass us by
We cry to the wind
When moments come and go
Leave remain stay
Suddenly collide
Without attaching to one
Or leaving the next
We are at one with all eternity
Our head in the lap
Of everlasting rest.
