what gesture from another

would create trust and

an insight into

freedom

what gesture from within

yourself

would liberate

you from

suffering?

what do you see?

how do you see?

why do you see?

How does your vision of the world

made through your eyes

affect the vision of yourself?

vision is more than seeing

reflection

of mind

personality,

memories

are merely

light refracted

through the lens of longing for a sense of peace or contentment

for even the most

satisfied of men

would seek a little contentment

and respite from

that which makes his life

so pleasurable and agreeable

when one stops to reflect

upon the life one has had

see it merely as a shaft of light

upon a time in which

you once stood

and thereby had a chance

to unpick the seam

you made

clarity

dwells

in the clamour of the world

luminous, self-existant

clarity dwells in the rush of your thoughts

in your most private despair

in the glamour glued in your fractures

in the late night when trains pass by

and a distant radio is like a man lost at sea

calling, calling

even in this

there is clarity

for if you seek clarity through religion

you will find that god does not know who he is

or in creating money or art

clarity flickers for a time

and falls back

so in your most human moments

call out for clarity

and you will find

clarity is with you

singing quietly

in the twilight

that you call your life

you

are

com

mun

nica

ting

all

the

time

in ways

you do not

understand

therefore claim ownership

of how you think and why

whatever takes place

in the ups and downs in your life

is

it is what is

so by accepting where you are

you begin to know why you are

and then you can accept

what is

for its own sake

and be thankful

for the life you have yet to make

the steps you take

to change the way you are in life

are the steps you have always taken

for the soul’s footfall

covers each and every day you live

like Autumnal leaves

or a  snow shower in Spring

Is there  a longing within you

for a touch of the divine,

or a greater life

a dream

a passion to explode

full of light and understanding?

Is there a longing for a simple contentment

and a place for quiet?

Is there a longing?

For all these things are a search for self, love and meaning

can you nurture such a longing?

for when even it hurts,

gather the hurt as if were a tender kiss

and see it through to its natural end

when it becomes a longing

for the embrace

of  the

eternal friend

who dwells within

and has a longing

for you, your lips

your breath

time

is made

by you

your body,

thoughts,

emotional states,

consciousness

time is generated

by your interaction

with life

time is different for everyone

and yet the illusion is

that it is the same

and orderly

time is the anxious child of chaos and order

seeking in each of us,

an identity

miracles

happen

every day

they are you and me
