Into the All

Lest we hopeful humans forget

That glory ever fades,

Dashing hopes of permanence.

Ah, the ace of spades.

 

The morning dew on leaves and blossoms

Evaporates in the sun,

Bearing deep significance

When all is said and done.

 

Holding on to attempts to glimpse

Into eternity

Defrauds the mind that wants to believe

What wasn't meant to be.

 

What was, what is, and what shall be

Will manifest despite

All attempts to categorize

What is wrong or right.

 

Relaxing into the universe--

Into the constant flow--

We release the bonds, the fetters,

Of what we think we know.

 

That must be the ultimate--

The effortless release,

Blissless bliss, beingless being,

Indescribable peace.
