Taking Steps



My dear
don't you understand
the time has come to change
the mind has intruded for so long that you don't know
any other way
come let go of the shadows
silence is a million times more beautiful and true
the clothing of illusion
never did belong to you

Come outside where the air is clear
come and leave the smoke
when the mind is clear and free, you will get the joke
when the edge of your world and the unknown come into view
you will be struck that what you grasped to as reality
was simply mist and not true
like dust that covers a jewel
the most precious treasure sits
and waits for you to follow it's sweet scent
thru the open doors of which you are not familiar
thru the passage ways that open to what one does not know
thru the dark woods where thoughts echo and dry leaves blow
thru the solid wall that grace cuts through
ove the steep hills and down into the open valleys below
diving deep into yourself this is the only way
come, follow now
the light is breaking thru

One must take steps, and though it may seem like you will fall
and fall you must in which eternity you dissolve
fallen facade of mental contructions
fallen past of pleasure and pain
fallen ghosts that haunt and cycle to create a world that never existed
fallen shadows that cloud the light
fallen robbers that steal peace
fallen roads that lead away from the real
fallen seeds of thought that blossom into more
fallen tree that gives rise to the feeling of other
all left behind when one crosses the line
of your world and the unknown

Hush child,
the wind is crying loud
keep walking steady, there is nothing to fear
inside there is an emptiness that calms and washes the ache
and when one walks in the world but is not of it
there is nothing that can harm
for nothing is lost in this ground
of pure life and mystery
it is here and now
and the truth of what you are
but you must take the steps
to discover...

That nothing is lost but the suffering...
