Awakening
My mind expands
Into this present moment.
From slumber deep
Memories creep,
Of a day before time was made
To entrap
a fleeting moment.
When the light that shined
Within all minds eclipsed
For just that moment.
A flicker in the cosmic flame,
That caught the eyes of
Passersby who lingered for but a moment,
To watch the dance of life and death.
Imagined the impossibility of life’s ending moment,
Then continued
Shaking heads
And laughing at the thought,
Of worlds arising,
Living,
Dying,
As life begins anew,
Eventually
returning here
Where all is
ever new.
