I
It is not permission we seek.
In the effects of infinity within the constantly moving thin blade
Between the motion of light and stillness of Dark
We find our resolution inside the spectrums of this prison.
Only in the middle of this perception,
Where light and dark are one
Can there exist such a balance that has the power
to turn saints into sinners and sinners into saints.
One that turns chaos into order.
Rendering confusion and conflict into comprehension and
co-operation.
Creating a lasting love in the awakening consciousness
of the eternal recognition of each other in oneself
Giving birth to a mutual respect and peace.
No… It is not permission we seek.
II
The perfection of the life is a rendering of a painting filled with
many colors, shapes, and textures
intentionally unfinished by its creator.
Left purposefully to comprehend the possibilities and potential
of completion, to the creation itself.
Art is after all a rendition of the Artist and life is a continued
Journey of many experiences and discoveries of eternal growth
of the unknown and yet, to be seen within oneself.
III
We travel in time to places we forget and to places yet discovered
The day of today is far in the past.
The day of today is far in the future.
We travel in time as I sit here in place.
On a timeline of infinity, our bodies finite and fragile
The grudge, egotistically holds any it can hostage
with the pretense it’s keeping its victims safe.
Protecting the chosen from perceived “Them and They” threats.
Life is not personal, it happens to everyone.
And yet, the shadow of the Ego clenches its teeth and fist at
every perceived slight.
Life happens, mistakes are made in the footstep of stumbles
“Not all things deserve punishment, sometimes all that’s needed is
forgiveness.”
It’s hard to forgive.
It means one has to realize its own part and find understanding
It means one has to let go of whatever it’s holding on to.
It means one has to stop punishing, not only the other but oneself as well.
The Ego will always claim the right to be right, even when wrong.
Because of the Ego, “Everything is taken personally, but it is only in the
impersonal that we find solutions.”
On a timeline of infinity, we are but a blemish.
Yesterday was not guaranteed nor the time that is left.
Reconcile with the heart and everything beyond that …
Well, that’s up to you. | MS
