Box of Paradox Lavender scents permeate the box where I dwell In relaxation pose, I sit cross-legged, palms facing heaven in meditative practice, Still I own a vague sense I have nothing to offer your great mind Would a single apothegm convince you there is more to me than flesh? Considering you as your words, I saw my savior from eternal damnation to flimsy cardboard walls that hold me Did you enjoy playing guru? In intense thought, I analyze your string of disconnected philosophies, My mind stings of numb confusion You are indeed an honest paradox... An oxymoron, releasing only witty repertoire in quips, once that I swallowed your words to have and to hold. Did I believe you could set me free? This moment’s meditation finds only discontent with your teachings And though I throw up my hands as shield to protect me from disillusionment I know no avail Thus I release your words to the universe and take up my own, Finding myself outside the box... the box you created for me. |
