Vision of Existence

Vision of Existence

-------------------


Going past the end

is to enter the next beginning

Assumptions of yourself being blank.


Ask a question that echoes

slowly, becoming nothing

as if all the world is deaf.


Common ground is not obtainable

but flutters under the breath of life

coming slowly from within us all

insight is warm and comforting.


At last the day has come

the star upon which your name was cast

flickers and implodes.


Do you awaken?

Or are we all just a dream?
