Being

Everyone has voices inside the head
And not everyone knows until they stop to hear,
Some choose not to hear them instead
Could it be the reason because of fear?

Fear of losing the mind-ego identity
A mind that lives in the past and future,
Mistaken emotional illusions for reality
For is this not how the mind feels secure?

Your life situation is not your LIFE
Only with time and space does suffering exist,
Will you not go beyond this endless strife?
The harder life’s journey gets, the harder you resist.

Peace and joy are never to be found
In a world full of dramas and lack of presence,
Or in a mind with too many sounds
Until you surrender them to silence.

Being okay when things are not okay
Makes a clearing for the unconscious to be awakened,
Somehow along the way, many of us have gone astray
If only we accept What IS, we’ll be enlightened!

True Being is immeasurable and timeless
Beyond freedom, happiness and impermanence,
All there is; is a feeling of wholeness
All you ever have NOW, is your PRESENCE.
