STUCK  (2-13-2006, sunrise, Stewart Beach, Galveston Island, Texas)


 
by what
self mythic pretense
or delusion
do we each
struggle
through the ever
densening confusion
of our own
unseen blindness
stuck
somewhere between
chaos and coping
where were all
individually and collectively
so deeply buried
beneath
and much too
tightly anchored to
our historically
accepted
culturally expected
unquestioned blind faith
in too much
egoic
mind alone
compounded
and even further
polluted
archaically tainted by
too much
patriarchally rigid
old time religion
as well
which has equally
long driven
and so tragically
delivered us all
and our once
so beautiful  pristine
natural world
all of nature
all of life
so sadly and
so irreparably  
to where we
all are now
wherein were seemingly
forced
to ever struggle
throughout
our lives
in some strange
futile race with
time
in search
in hopes of
finding
something more
as we obliviously
continue
to just keep
exhaustively
plodding along
while striving
to create sustain
recreate or else
give up on
completely
our increasingly challenging
ongoing journeys
experiential course
of hopefully someday
soon
restoring more balance
more beauty
more peace
more happiness
more harmony
more truth
and more meaningful
just reward  
back into and
within
our too long
stolen lives
and this our
fallen  too long
sickened
still most sacred
world
so that we
as a species
might sort out
flesh out  rebuild
restore
and nurture
completely  wholly and
holy
back into oneness
at last
the broken  scattered
bones
of so much
inhibitive  dead end
complexity
where this old
world
and all of
us
all presently seem
so fatefully  fatally
lost
so hopelessly stuck
somewhere between
tedious boredom
and creative purpose
between joy
and suffering
in our perpetual
inner quest
for hopeful solution
yet how many
or how few
ever truly find
their way
into the self
realization
that its answer
lies in stillness
just beyond
all pinnacle and
precipice
of mans egoic
mind
and his own
wherein the only
true
all knowing one
of true oneness
can be found
and known
just beyond
the dense confusion
of
all self mythic
pretense
and mass delusion
so long trapped
so lost within
mankinds
egoic minds
self destructive
illusory mask
of unseen blindness
stuck
