To The Light

 

every now and then
we have to step into emptiness
accept the impermanence
negotiate the balance

even as we say
this is the only way
the longing still returns
and all the fires begin to burn

this feeling it brings joy
and yet the mind still plays the ploy
to negate
this microsecond of peaceful eternity

so I head back to the dream
knowing all is not what it seems
and hope that in waking
I'll come back to the truth

for in the changes
there is never changing
just a life of rearranging
till the path leads back and forth to the light

This has such a lovely rhythm, it reminds me of a saying a friend of mine has, that nothing is constant, which is what your final stanza seems to say, just love those two lines, "there is never changing just a life of rearranging." My first bookmark.
