Discovering


How elusive the quest
To place oneself in sync
Wavelength to wavelength
Response to reply

So many agendas beg ignoring
Those places where integrity remains suspect
Where job
Marriage
Relationships
Friends
Acquaintances
Eye contact
Undeserved pleasures
Even fantasized harmony
Portending confirmation of truth
Are often merely layered fears
Forged in distrust

For lest we forget

The questions persist
Promised answers are few

Even as schemas know no boundaries
The road signs always offering direction
To the many of want
Facilitating few of need
They nevertheless remain available

Such goes this phenomenon of plans
One’s diagrammable life
Representation of what might be
But rarely is
What is intrinsically longed for
Yet seemingly uncatchable
Like forever morphing mercury

Still

The hunt will continue
Beneath self-created imprisonment
To find that somewhere yet to objectify itself
That place where slumber’s intrinsic reasoning
Kept safe by nature’s heartbeat
Requires nothing but simple acceptance
Of that principle known simply as
The ever available
Truth

Searching minds continue
Trusting consciousness will prevail
Even allowing occasional laughter
Along the path where delusions entertain
For the Moment

Waiting to discover why dogs are happier
