What would it mean,
this inverse capacity
for finding the illogical,
a contemplation upon
an endless mystery

This life you find yourself in,
a planet,
a place you didn't choose

why perhaps this realm
of disintegration
presents such
complex struggle

to find peace,
to seek something
higher,
this insane desire
in a reality so fleeting

what a perplexing thought
this is,
to have tranquility
even amidst
the most violent
of worlds

solve this puzzle,
a prize to unlock
where meaninglessness
transforms into meaning
and pointlessness
becomes the point

The darkness comes around,
a seemingly endless cave
will come to light

persevere even
through the coldest
nights
and find what exists
at the other end
of it

Persist, even in the midst
of tremendous pressure,
when the end of the road
is out of sight

hang on, even when depleted,
and find that life's greatest
surprises arise
when you're just about
to
give up

It's ok to create,
even when the Devil
says you shouldn't

manifest and control,
take the reins
and visualize
your world
let feeling
guide you,
as an intuitive
wind

bring to life,
these seeds of
bliss
and let the sacred
emerge
from the
depths

find this guide,
the one who cares
and grants you
this amazing
gift,
to dream
to be free
and actualize
a life
enviable
by all

Crimson diamond,
this sparkling fruit
a delicious enticement
into knowledge,
of good & evil

Why would one want to know,
to unplug from the fabric
of all illusion?
a glimpse at a foundational
truth,
the one that God
can see

a matrix mentality,
this desire for the red
a promise that understanding,
will set us free

trickery of the darkest one,
though the truth he told,
a delicate mortal mind
not ready for what
had been
revealed

distant remembrance,
this sacred veil
of setting suns
time based epiphanies
of all that will come
dance into this future
and be brave,
take this torch
a burden of knowing
and set yourself
free

Things are more
special with God,
a giver of good
gifts that appeal
not only to the
senses,
but the
soul

Controller of reality,
all that is beyond
our reach,
the heavens,
and the spaces
in between

Let us find this life,
and not forget you
this one who loves
and shows it
dearly

Loving is open,
the opposite
of a calloused
heart

You are the shepherd
of our life's paths,
you are the compass,
and the one that
leads

The granter of special
messages,
sent from the heavens
or that which we
call
sacred

Lead us into the best life
that you know for us,
and let us not lean
on our own
powers

Help us to trust,
and bond with
you,
and remind us
why you are
good

Here it is again,
a certain clarity
that resembles
a truth

They are who
chase it
the fleeting
feelings
of illusive
feeling

finding out what
feels the best
and pursuing it
as a lion

sought after and achieved
the strongest
among them

the King takes the
most pleasures
and must defend them
against
the others

a perplexing mystery,
or a feeding
as the Buddha
said

Is this the game?
to find pleasure
and protect
it?
this fleeting
mist
of elated
vapor

From the night,
a creature came
forth from black
and the deepest
of shadows

delicate being,
of tremendous
presence
he called our name,
and we answered

forever,
into the future
a vision was
painted
he'd be joining us
in life's unfolding
journey  

though his time cut short,
an unexpected vacancy
filled the once happy
dream

An owl named Wisdom,
he left us with a mystery:
why must the magic
disappear?
