The Failed Recluse

The Failed Recluse

Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above...
To realms hitherto awaiting...
Into the domain of the beyond...
Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above...

Groping in the dark thickness of ignorance...
One can't find the pearl of wisdom...
As it is that which lies beyond...
Beyond the grasp of the intellect.
Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above...

For the purest of the pure hearts...
As pure as the white snow...
Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above...

In the wilderness of earth's forests...
In the flame mountains of the fiery Sun...
Give up and let go...
In the silent height of the eagle's flight...
Into the boundless ocean of giant waves...
Give up and let go...
In the lifeless vacuum of cosmic space...
Give up and let go...

Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above...
Wonder the moon yonder rising,
That silver white gray patched luminance;
Inconstant vagaries of its circled orb;
Marks that sneaky thought in cunning  motion;
So, Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above...
As desire is in action.
Dance on the hood of its shadow;
Its Fear - kill that with compassion.
Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above...

Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above...
Love annihilates the universe.
Annihilation for another cycle of creation.
What is Creation ?
Death rejuvenates life; So,
Give up and let go...
Get lost and look above.

- A sudden burst of emotion...
Got up from slumber and penned the poem.
