It is so fragile
our tenuous grip on life,
this vision we use
this vision we use:
we see only the surface
with our eyes open
with our eyes open
there is so much beyond sight
that remains unseen
that remains unseen
which fills the sense of wonder
without touching us
without touching us
the whole world is illusion,
without our presence
without our presence
the universe continues
not missing a thing
not missing a thing,
just simply being aware;
that is true living.
