Being caught in the moment
when the realization comes to you
that all you ever think and do
is what you have always done
is frightening and overwhelming
In that blink of an eye you feel
despair creep into your whole being
and the tears you before hid inside
will keep falling even when they dry up
as you try to understand what happened
To what place did the time disappear?
How could it pass in front of your eyes
at the same time as you were working
doing the laundry, buying a new stereo
and dreaming about everything
you wanted to do since you were five
Was this all life was about?
I know how being enlightened feels
though I no longer feel the despair
instead I am filled with love and curiosity
and driven by a hunger for more
of the excitement life has to offer
When you realise you live a life not desired
you are only one step, only one thought
away from your dream which you can live in
as long as you want and feel that life
is worth living instead of just watching
Be true to yourself and for once
fly the whole way up to the clouds
which is to be honest, not that far
I promise you that they are soft
though quite moist so bring a wetsuit
or one extra pair of clothing and gumboots
The view is spectacular.
