Funhouse Mirrors in the Street

 Funhouse Mirrors in the Street

 

Something material

might

Take hold of my interest

 

But like all things ephemeral

It won't last

 

I'm So

Sick and tired

Of giving you my time to you

All you care about:

 

"What can I get out of him today?

Will it be better than yesterday?

 

How can I give him my least

In return

He'll give me his most?"

 

Its hard

Living this reality

It

Being proof of another universe's theory.

 

Smart enough to know

Better than that

 

Experienced enough to

Have been down the wrong road a few

 

Still scratching my head

Still looking

 

What's wrong for me

Its also

Wrong to you

 

Confusion sets in

 

What works

What seems right for me

Is totally Wrong

For you

 

Maybe

Ill stop looking at you.

Waking from a Daydream

Waking from a Daydream 

You are that vision of physical perfection 
A specimen of the highest caliber 

But 
It doesn't mean anything 

Physically 
I am not what you seek 

You are at that spiritual height where 
your smile heals 
your soul reflects divine light and guides your way 

But 
It doesn't mean anything 

Your way 
Is not directed towards mine 
Your smile 
Is not meant for my wounds 

You are that one whom possesses a mind to unravel mysteries and the wisdom to keep some as such 

But 
It doesn't mean anything 

Your mental mastery 
Was never meant to coalesce with mine 
Your wisdom 
Was never meant to share a seat in the same school of thought as mine 

On every level 

Mentally 
Physically 
Even spiritually 

It doesn't mean anything 
You weren't meant for me.

Revelation

Don’t be confused
or even question your understanding.

What flows from your heart
and stops at your lips
is
What has been made clear.

Comprehending the divine is not the mind’s purpose.

Understanding with the heart takes time.

What you seek
you’ve already found.

The problem is

YOU

want to make sense of it.

Whatever it is
it will be.

I’ll give you a hint.

What you want

IS NOT

Understanding

Smoke & Mirrors

Confusion

The blight of a conscious mind.

A pox upon a faithful spirit.

able to comprehend
and reason
like nothing else in creation

 

Yet

some say to reason about creation

to ask questions of the creator

is the same
just as kin

as to question the creator.

 

And that is said to be most horrific of a sins.

Confusion

 

We lean not on OUR OWN understanding.
We walk by FAITH and NOT BY SIGHT.

How could we ever get to true understanding if we did not question
the flaws of
and in
OUR OWN
and seek higher than it?

Higher than those around us that claim to know.

 

If told to move
one has to ask

“Where?”

 

otherwise we remain still.

By faith we ask
By faith we receive
By faith we walk.

 

Confusion

not question

 

is the enemy of faith

 

Confusion

not question

 

opens the door for ignorance and doubt.

Confusion is the dark
Question is the door leading the way
Faith is the answer that brings understanding and revelation.

 

The light is not blissful ignorance but a faithful knowing
to any question
we receive
a faithful answer

All will be made clear
seek and you will find
knock and the door will be opened

 

Ask and it will be given to you.
