This Too Shall Pass, I Shall Pass This Too.

If hope prolongs suffering,
Faith prolongs disengagement.

When alignments are self-sustained
There is no blame to aim,
No property to ponder,
Not a matter of the malleable.
Engage by disengaging.

When alignments are compliant
Change is still reliant
On your demand,
On everyone's demand.
Sprawling choices
through metamorphoses,
Like a classroom of unsure hands.

Obedient vines will also weave
At the sound of your command,
sprouting choices in the sprawl 

to be picked by other hands.
A matter only matched by means of the malleable.
The disengaged will be engaged.


The stars all sleep under the same sky,
Constellations live, and constellations die.
Constellations fall away, and others will  arise.

And the cool night air hugs them all the same.

Reviews

[Siddhartha]

The ephemerality of something, and the perpetuity of others.
But what shines through is the will of men
And of course the undiscerning cool air
Which hugs them all the same.
