Let it be known

To be awake but not awakened
and, oh, this is a merry life
that keeps one in the mire
of reality’s conspiracy.

And then there is the light
but no enlightenment
and knowledge but no wisdom
and love but no loving.

Peace is there somewhere
but no peacefulness
because it cuddles up to joy
and hides in discontent.

Let it be known I know
how great we are to live this farce
and play-act with intensity
the simulated genuine.

But of the genuine who knows
if ere upon a dusty shore
if will rise in true force, effect,
and stand as one triumphant?

Let it be known I don’t know
but maybe in a future time
there’ll be a misfit speck of past
that shows I should have known.

The awake, enlightened, wise,
the peaceful and the joyous,
all specks within the folds of time
that one day will make a … whole!

Love youyr ponderings, Helen. "Let it be known" that similar thoughts have crossed my mind but you express the beautifully.

Thanks, Ida. I sometimes ponder the merits of pondering but then I just give in and carry on pondering.

Thanks Bluesy! Maybe that's the purpose of it all because I sure don't have any answers.

The poem is an answer in itself, dear Helen Poetess.
You do so well in spreading the awareness, my friend!

Love and hugs.
