70 0r 80
in the midst of limited time
slipping from night to day
finding only there is night again.
Dreams color the inactive body
witnessing to the eternal sights
and an active body becomes the dream
there is no living without the dream.
The id wanders not at all
the seen is done eyes closed
as well as eyes open.
The id is the shadow
reflecting the light of awareness
not viewed in light, but in the darkness.
For the light deceives
for in the glaring obvious
is little awareness.
To witness is not to know
to see is not to understand
to act is not to move.
Knowing can be the end of wonder
understanding precedes the end of joy
moving destroys stillness required for internal peace.
Seeking peace
waking to dreams
in stillness.
Wonder opens the eyes
something superior in knowledge
an awareness that is the act of living.
Activity finds depth
and there are only 70 or 80 years to find it.
