Learn To See

Heads in the sand, walking like zombies, frozen and blind, trying to live.

Not taking the time to stop long enough to see what is really true.

The road to the mountain's top gets narrower and less densely populated with elevation.

Too busy with the shiny objects along the highway to nowhere.

Easy to put out a flickering light, hard as it might try to grow bright.

Limited support or understanding for those turning over the rocks to see what lies beneath.

Unending journey for the diamond to shimmer.

Damn the obscurity of the limited mind.

It has to snap back to what matters, to what is true, to what actually is.

To step away from the burden of the past into ether, except the cells need to eat.

Moving around purposelessly, gathering things, covering up lies.

The basic truths are missing from the everyday existence, resulting in suffering.

Stop. Look. Learn to see.
