REALITY

The Final Chapter

How can a thought, make you cry;
and another thought give you pain;
its only thought, on which we rely;
and, how does loss cause us gain?

Life is the great mystery of perplexity;
consciousness can’t be explained;
with seasons of physical complexity;
when energy becomes

The Ferris Wheel

There’s a most spectacular carnival ride;
an enormous wheel; turned on its end;
carrying passengers, on seating, inside;
rotating; allowing they rise and descend.

Upon their reaching its ultimate height;
they’re given a view of a world below;
it’s a most memorable, spectacular sight;

Growing Old

What takes place; as we grow old;

shining the bright light of the truth;
but loneliness makes it so

Greatness

Why, to greatness, do so many aspire;
it’s a form of chasing an elusive wind;
what is achieved being rich and retire;
when your being, really has no end?

Greatness is never what you think or do;
nor something on which you’ll depend;
greatness isn’t earned;

Thinking Is Seeing

I’ve always heard, “seeing is believing”
and so, I am prone to think;
perhaps, instead; “thinking is conceiving”

all conception occurs in the mind;
decision made; before eye sees light;
and reality,
