Signals indicating rapid devolution abound
Questionable practices brought us to this point
Regret is not a remedy for this injury
What will happen when clarity takes hold?
The fog settles into misty valleys of doubt


The passage of time is marked by blossoming
Each season concludes to celebrate with seeds
Scattered future potential rides on wind
To unknown destinations with no hesitation
In the belief that conditions exist for renewal


Accumulating karma is hard to avoid
Bringing to the surface the drama of secrets
Watching objectively as things claim space
Allowing debris from life to settle
We find fantastic reasons to let go

The image was faint yet still fading
Storing energy and maintaining a belief
That personal opinion creates a privilege
To judge the value of the contributions
Made by all sentient beings in all times
By standing in place without perspective
By repeatedly looking for fault and failure
When presence is required for clarity


Breaking the spell that holds your imagination
Will be earth shattering, consequential, loud
The spiritual command is perfectly clear
To anyone who plans to govern this state
Drifting along consuming atmospheric grit
Is a pathway that leads to bitter confusion


Sweeping up the debris falling from neglect
Washing the script of lines that incriminate
Wait for the curtain to open and witness
The decay of what is left of the standards
People know and remember


The difference between stories and reality
Is a gap that is growing larger and heavier
No full grasp of the time can excuse or exclude
Serious efforts are designed to obstruct truth


Slither to a new level of confidence and stealth
Find vibrations in the air and in the sky
Night creatures find darkened pathways
Through all the dissent of projected fear
To discover another level of calm and quiet


Review of the options available
Revealed more unrealistic expectations
Uncovering foundations of shaky conclusions
Holding mythical wisdom up as fact
Our framework is based on fallacies
Passed down without conscious thought
The choices that remain for us dwindle
While hard work is wasted on denialism


SHAKTI GAWAIN
I’m working on a new level of communication
The reflection of light is a tricky practice
One needs stillness’s steady gaze to know
When to absorb versus when to return
The essence of meaning we recognize as ours
