the road to enlightenment and others...

the road to enilightenment



i have started this journey

to follow the road to enlightenment

whatever it may be

"if you don't know where you're going

any road will take you there"



i have taken the road to enlightenment

to see what i can see

recording what was

living what is

hoping for what can be

one foot in front of the other knowing only what i am

learning what i can



before you start this journey

reject all you thought you were

see the world with open eyes

even that you wish you could avoid



i have taken the road to enlightenment

a road i do not know

a road that doesn't end in my dreams

i won't allow it to do so

not while i can learn what i really am



i have traveled the road to enlightenment

just to reach this point

and though i can reflect

i can never turn back

-----------
Grounds for Sculpture

Shaded trees
Keep us cool by the water
Seen nature's daughter
Sitting by the frozen mind

Shades of green
Surround us
The wind caresses
The disressed figure
Amongst the stones

Hiden child
Geometry calls you in an unnatural, non-ridged sort of way
Cool metal on your finger tips
Dropping water sweeps your lips
Calling you to follow

Society doesn't want you today
Dear flower-girl go outside and play
Don't worry about it all, it's OK
Amongst the trees we wish we could stay

Well we can...
...But only today

My Feet Just Want to be Free

My feet just want to be free
They're boxed in and suffering
The want to run in the grass

My feet just want to be free
From that which contains them
They want to feel the wind between their toes

My feet just want to be free
From all this materialism
But where can they go in this material world?

My feet just want to be free
From all the rules of society
But its so hard to do that
What society does all it can to keep them bound

 

i loved these pieces

that last one filled me with
a fond feeling that all who see past
what we are shown...share their journeys
with others..............

thank you for this moment of reading
to reflect upon yourselves heal a moment to come.

love n peace from saff
keep writing ......

 

You've just made my day...

...most people don't get it. Thanks so much for that
