An Art Worth Perfecting

an art 

yes indeed I would have to say it is an art 

intricate in the breeze 

at one with the winds 

yet still flickering 

within every breath 

definitely takes practice

to move into a caravan of lights

navigating the present 

of each moment after moment

after moment

it can take a lifetime

to comprehend 

the guiding light

the master

the sage

was always there 

will always be 

will we ever understand 

love 

true love

is egoless

it is the very force uniting us 

whilst we still 

after a millennia

choose to be divided

but to truly know - just know 

because we always have -

we are being buoyed 

by universal vitality 

and no matter 

what decisions we make 

what events unfold 

how we live 

when we die 

they are all passing moments 

in a grander scheme

a bigger picture 

called

eternity 

where the buoying 

shall never cease 

and we shall be 

cushioned by love 

in the life force 

the one that 

is the all

until forever 

ahh yes

now that my friend 

is an art worth perfecting

they say, "to love others we must first love ourselves" and there is truth to that, but love has to be selfless...and we need to pass that love around...

and as you say...be "cushioned by that love"---

a grand view you give us here in your brilliant analogy...

Art worth a lifetime of trying, learning and correcting. Love is itself a mystery and true love in that, a gem buried in it. What about truly loving oneself, accepting? Isn't it true that you can accept others when you start to accept yourself for who you are, want to be? Both are equally hard and ego riddled, I feel :)
This poem is like a journey from the finite to unimaginable depths and beyond.

PS At the beginning I interpreted it as you-know-what-I-described as :))

[KWP]

your words are wise as usual ... no surprises there ... hope your day is brilliant chickface xx

look at you .. mountains one day the next on the beach .. i am so jealous of you .. and your photography is gifted .. that has to be your dog! what a curly headed fellow(?) .. now your poem :)
of course i love this .. your meditative wisdom never ceases to bless me .. and as i read in the morning .. your poetry is the best way to start .. by being reminded of these eternal truths you speak of .. the thought i am taking with me is "...the buoying" ...the bouy floating on the waters ... now no waters .. just the bouy ... now without color .. just inside the bouy ... now no inside just.................................. ;) love and peace my friend!

well you got that right Boss Lady but will we ever understand true love? Its just good to know that despite our worries and scheme's there is a universal big picture, all we need do is see it for seeing is an art worth perfecting, thanks Aus bird :)
