i seek for wonder,
a gasp of glee,
a glint of awe.
but nay
she doth a frail withered rose.
measuring, hurrying. progress,
build them now. more! more!
crushed, stomped. forgotten.
we live with clouded eyes,
we live with clouded eyes.

shifting sands, the yen
for certainty, illusive
never found, wanting
fleeting. all manifestations,
abound, cackling shadows
tempting one from stark,
unflinching

oneness.

reality, bites
don't kid yourself.
