En-Lightening

And as we want for
Words to come,
Ideas to flow,
Pain to go,
We suffer our judgement of what is so.

And as we will for
”Me” to mend,
Feeling to flee,
Them to see,
We suffer our judgement of what be.

And as we worry
We might lose,
They might leave,
Things might rot,
We suffer our judgement of what is not.

And as we wish we
Didn’t want,
Didn’t will,
Didn’t worry,
Didn’t wish,
We suffer our judgement of what is.

And then
An opening arises.

And as we witness
What we think,
What we dream up,
What we dread,
We suffer not, but smile instead.

For we can see,
That all these thoughts
Are not you, are not me, are not real;
They’re thoughts we learned,
Not a big deal.
And so we suffer not, but heal.

And as we return
To the now,
To the silence,
To the knowing that all experience
Can be amusing and adored,
We return to ourselves,
And suffer no more.
