The Vanities...

 It is in the Questioning,

the Desire, the Fire

hoping to make one see

an Old Truth in a New Way,

Modern Man reborn

amid the ruins of Pompeii.

the Snake Stairs uncoil

in the steaming Jungle Sun

to seek mid-day shade

then go back to tracking

the Yearly Sojourn...

 

Tell, tell me of what you have learned

in your travels,

both Dreaming and Awake,

what Thirst did you slake

that made you hungry for more,

looking to explore yet another Shadow?...

 

Kn0w to ascertain the Indistinct

it's not as easy as you think,

to separate yourself

from the moment

and your surroundings

but once you do have the control

the difference will be astounding;

the Clarity, the Parity

you can't help but smile

for it truly is a Divine Comedy

with the joke being on ourselves

and our multitude of Vanities,

Ego, Pride, and False Sense of Entitlement,

all useless, wasted Energy,

time spent chasing your own Shadow

where the doubt's been hidden all along;

release it in song

and send the prayers Heavenward...
