I Wrote This Just for You

Enemies infiltrate the mind
reeking havoc with its logic
tearing down the walls built
to keep self-serving within
to keep disillusionment out.

[[here we go again - trippin' out]

The walls have a unique look
built according to plans made
to embellish the ideal -
that concept of beauty
now erected in solidity
rock hard - unforgiving
change cannot enter into
this now realized completed place.

[whatchoo talkin' about? r u ok?]

Now inside this enclosed area
all that has been dreamed
may have a chance for survival
against forces that wait outside
and here they will grow strong
become fertile with possibility...

[what is this? you can't pick 'n choose!]

No longer threatened by the Evil
the selected Good is further nourished
by the labors of its inhabitants,
whose grueling long days under the
Soul of Sun weakens their awareness
limiting their time to fully realize
that this self-contained prison only
harbors that very enemy that they ran from.

[enemies of their own doing? what is this?]

For inside these walls nothing else entered
leaving shallow the full possibility of life
growing in abundance just beyond the boundaries
a carnival of existence - multiple colors,
fragrances abounding in freedom, beasts of many
shapes and sizes, large shady trees, shrubs, herbs,
waters running freely for all to share - Paradise!

[paradise my ass! you just cant have it all, dude!]

One day within the walls, Conscience grew restless
and stood on high, barely able to see over the wall
that it had built for safety, but high enough to see
its limitations have imprisoned the responsibility
to experience the fullness of all around it.

[you tryin' to tell me somethin' here? hmmmm...?]

Once Conscience reached the top of the wall
a great transformation occurred - like a new sun
rising in the sky of the mind -lighting the way
beyond the walls, perception increased, fear fragmented,
and a wondrous new undertaking had begun...

[new undertaking? i'm not sure i follow you.. more!]

The walls of Ego had been scaled - no longer limiting-
Conscience had been set free to explore, to discover,
the world had suddenly expanded ten-fold, hundred-fold,
numbers became meaningless as the journey began
and in childlike innocence all was alive, together.

[together? you mean like all in one kinda thing?]

Conscience withered amidst this new found realization
and like a drop, entered in the Stream of Consciousness,
at last a feeling of being reunited with the pulse,
the heartbeat of the Universe, in tune with all things,
and a rebirth of Wisdom rumbled - the Walls of Ego fell!
Liberation of the Spirit inhabiting all Life rejoiced
for Freedom had finally returned to the Land
Paradise had been fully restored by just letting go.

[just letting go... no longer a slave to ego-type thing?]

The Secret to Freedom was never a "secret' but only buried under piles of religions, philosophies, politics, in cemeteries of contrition, a self-created fear of Self-Realization suspended our Oneness, we chose to be I-lands, while we indulged in Fantasies to be apart and not a part of the rest of Life.

[ahh..get beyond Ego's self-made walls, letting go of superficialities like fear, greed, and all that other stuff...and we may return to some kinda Eden or whatever? Yeah...that's pretty cool, dude...]
