uncreated

seek me here
love,
in the heart
where there is only beauty and
uncreated joy
what has thou to loose
but the suffering
and what has thou to gain
but eternal peace

friend,
thou has been away
such a long time
and where have you been?
you could tell me of all the places you
have visited
on your journey --
and all that you have tasted and held
to yourself as precious
or all the things that have been very hard
and put an imprint of sadness on your heart
yet, i will say to you
that this is all untrue and unreal
for it has come and gone
and is not living in this moment
and in this moment
what is truly happening?

friend,
i have prayed way back
a lot
and have found that miracles
bloom
but this did not bring happiness to
the soul ever
just temporary satisfaction
so i left this behind
and had to face the ego
with it's crafty ways and
hidden agendas
and all the false shows it puts up
and this was much harder than praying
and hoping
yet it has brought a settled peace
after many, many years
it has been the hardest thing
yet worth every bit of it...
