A Zen Moment, Too

A Zen Moment, Too

A Poem by Stephanie M
"

This is a New Age poem.

"

Is who I am shaped by the past


An endless cycle of


escaping from the pain


A vagabond in search


Traveling near and far


To find out what it all means


I can see so much clearer


As I shed this veil of shame


A materialistic culture


Full of false pride


But deep down I still feel fear


Am I worthy of life?

Day and night I wandered


Hoping to seek the truth


Until I met a madman


or maybe he was a wiseman


who spoke so concisely


Suddenly it all made sense


"Clarity creates it's


own distortion


Acceptance perpetuates


powerlessness


There is no duality


but in our own minds"

I am intrigued by this write! You have created a thought provoking piece here. I adore the last lines:

"Clarity creates it's
own distortion
Acceptance perpetuates
powerlessness
There is no duality
but in our own minds"
