Separate thinking mind-voice

created defensive world

grown from my reactions

so that I could see myself.

~ 

These days I see you clearly

going on by yourself,

thinking that you're alive

turning around and around.

 ~

Reacting chained thoughts

triggering emotions

false sense of being alive,

clinging to the past.

~ 

Is it as simple as a decision

to let this 'old way' to live go?

Just asking this - fear sets in

for what would then be left?

~ 

Could it be to experience oneself as love,

being one with life?
