SamadhiMuse

 
A look into the endless pool of now.
   No sense of coming and going - just this. 
      The upwelling of is-ness, a fire of bliss.

Every attempt to speak or write is
   a stone of impermanence
      thrown into the pool. 

I know this place, I come here often;
   though the eruptions of bliss 
      are gentler.

Separation implies will.
   And will implies difference.
      And from difference comes non-enlightenment.

'It is what it is', why be anything else?
   And can we be anything else, 
      except through illusion?

You can merge, but you lose reason.
   And you can have reason 
      but not the bliss of merger.

Everything can just be.
   But only we humans 
      can reason and forget both.

But we should reason 
   and remember
      that we are also existence.

And that all we have to do to fall back 
   into the pool of bliss and being
      is to cease thinking and differentiating.

Creation is both beautiful and brutal
   and with these lives 
      we can choose.
