Zen.

“When you understand, reality depends on you.”

from The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma

This is not a dream --

You can break the confines

of your reality.

See deeper than face-value,

Push farther --

You’ll break through.

Understand understanding.

Each new lifetime is another chance.

Be in control

without being controlling.

Reality is constructed

on contradictions.

You can see without looking.

Understand, and be free.

very interesting... this poem is one of those that you take something new from with each reading. I liked it :)
