The Sage watched with pity
as Masius fell exhausted, to his knees
"Then take leave, Masius !
Go to the mountains, find yourself
For too long, you have
chased laughters happiness
Albeit with your eyes closed;
Counting your herd fastidiously
Life's pitied Traveller, keeping score
as foolishly, as the Sultan
notches up, swelling desire

Journey to Peshawar
walk the caves of the Khyber Pass
See how the moon carves dreams;
Marking the rocks of time
Then return home, far richer
than any man, knowing
the echo of his own heart beat
Bringing back, laughter on
Warlords, who believe
they hold life's treasures
Greedily bagged in numbers
weighting their palms

Your smile will light happiness
Your heart beating to
the tune of enlightenment
Go, seek contentment
my unhappy friend....
Go............
bring back your soul!
Confide in the mountain caves
and find your true heart
Unmask yourself
The Believer;
No longer crippled a lost dog,
entrusting love's desire
to the fragments of bone
Chomping on sovereigns
testing the truth of gold !

Titch

Whew, titch...

I strive for such incredible imagery and it never seems to come. I am enthralled with your apparent ease to do so.

Thank you for such a beautiful verse. It beckons me forth into yet another quest for "truth".

Love and Light...jc

This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.

A painting by one of the masters perhaps
might eclipse this...perhaps not...

Well done..
