A heart always yearns for knowing:
feeling the need to understand
why flowers bloom with such abandon,
splashing wild colours everywhere,
releasing fragrances derived of love,
painting nature's self-portrait in spring.

And the same heart sadly wonders
why this living presence vanishes
so quickly in the onslaught of “reality”!

Perhaps when ego controls the mind
sadness and loss appear foremost
and time is as lead upon the memory.

Perhaps it is best to move beyond the ego;
to play and dance among the spirit world,
to detach from the common woes
of earthbound reality.

Perhaps it is best to wring that cloth
dampened by tears of sorrow and woe
and hang it up to dry
in the warm winds of Spring.

Yes indeed...perhaps so!
Very much enjoyed the read.
Thank you.

true but there has to be an acknowledgement of the ego control..which is rare.

I enjoy your writing very much.

Moving beyond the ego is good but time enough to dance among the spirit world.
I can relate to your ponderings but at the end of the day we can only do the best we can with whatever truth we choose to call our own. It's just a bit of a process getting to that truth but as Spring buds so do we.
