WAKE TO REALITY

WAKE TO REALITY

A Poem by Tasi83



To hide, to escape. 
With the cheaply-measured
 weights of Tomorrows
 on my limbs, 
painted green-blue by the aching vengeance!
 I should hide - yes,
 hide in the deep hiding-places
 of blessed-hearted mothers.
 Unfold while you can the unknown safety-net
 to shelter and protect you!
 - Or in diligent mole mode,
 digging tunnels of thickening
 caverns underground: field worms,


My real lack cannot be complete,
 cannot be whole: my nagging conscience
 plays daily question and answer with me,
 and recognises my lack.
 - It is the weight of the task
 that pulls me back: 
the responsibility of pen and paper keeps
 calling me back, 
pulling me back to the sobering consciousness;
 I cannot yet leave, 
nor can I yet be part 
of the contemplative Nothing, 


in whose kingdom I shall be transformed
 as a degraded dross, under persistent,
 unwearied patience!
 The law of hiding binds me,
 compels me to forget my humanity,
 and in the abysses of my selfishness
 I may seek my own way out!
 The wounded and broken code-organs
 of the day are always watching, 


who is it that, in your mania of persecution,
 follows you behind your back,
 obsessed, orphan-murdering?
 I have deliberately hidden myself 
in thy heart with my complimentary treasures
 - that thou mayst always remember me,
 if thou canst,
 - yet I could not account
 for my soul and face it, 


not to move! I dare not, for a moment,
 to feel self-esteem and self-confidence,
 and now I know at last - it would be in vain to jump: 
I can never enjoy your unfulfilled,
 blissful love with you!
