~illusions

A Poem by Katherine Wyatt

"All spiritual practices are illusions created by illusionists to escape illusion."

�" Ram Dass

 

 

 

the razor's edge of

  ..realities ...

 ..cut

allowing

 ..the shadows of

yesterdays

 ..to linger

and contingent solemnity

crucifies...

..the heart

  ....and mind..

 

 ...discernment

is the sacred speaking

..whispering quietly

to ignore it

creates

  .. sorrows

        ..and anxiety

 

 attainment

to which the soul aspires

requires

    ...a method

 

 

once the boat crosses the water

it is of no use on land

 

the cosmic catch is

    ...to be free

 

   ....you have to want it....

Reading your profile has prompted me to read some of your poetry..
This one is fast paced, and effectively gets your point across..The introduction quote by Ram Dass is perfect.
Good job..ice
