Don't blame the sinking ship

when you are already in it

you should have checked its seaworthiness

beforehand-- where then was your wit?

Knowing I could contribute nothing

I left the room in silence and in humility

hypocritical to give the impression I knew something

that would strip me of every dignity

I don't want to die as a secret to myself
That's the sole reason I wake up every morning
To experience here as being awake in a dream.

Having said this,
Having done that,
Let me just go mad.

I watch life float by
like a dragonfly
riding the breeze.
I need to seize the
current like a
brick of gold,
soar ever upward,
above the swamps,
and dead lilies.
Transcendent light blinds
temporarily, but it's
necessary for new sight,
and stronger wings.
