and “IS”ness

and “IS”ness

live free or die they may say

as i have done so many times before

each time i have layed down my life

i have vied for so much more

but this is something i question my friend

is completeness found in the gathering things

or is it like death, in the letting go

as we stop chasing those Golden Rings

convexingly so we still press forward

with purpose but no clarity of mind

hoping as we stumble down our paths

that we may get lucky and find

the answers to questions of life

that we have yet to formulate

all we know is that there is a longing within

as we vacillate betwixt our Dreams and our Fate

but know that Hope alone is a powerful tool

for it provides us the ability to endure

all the errant paths we may travel

as we seek our Divine Holy cure

where all that we “Know” and “Be” becomes blissful

what a wonderful embracing dream

but it is better to Dream then not at all

for only then is life as i deem

so i continue to create that which i wish for

each moment in the power of my Now

and with absolute certainty as i step closer

and the “Beingness” of my Tao

i lay down my life that i may pick it up again

for i have the power to do so

each time i exercise my Holiness of being “Here”

i draw e’en closer to my Soul’s “Know”

. . . . and “IS”ness
