We cannot move forwards …
While some are moving backwards …
and others still left behind ...
For we all have to move forward, together
as we cannot do it separately,
nor, totally on our own !!…
A man looking forwards …
but moving backwards …
Menacingly, blocking my pathway
Retreat … Retreat …
Back off, from the main street
Still he plots his course …
in a backwards fashion
Retreat … Retreat …
Sneak off, onto the side street
Still he keeps coming …
And I dart off into an enclosed detachment
Hoping to conceal my presence, while still
remaining connected ...
I see his face wretched with pain and anxiety …
I centre myself like the tree …
With the roots firmly grounded and the
branches reaching up to
the heavens …
For I too was tainted by conditioning, but
in the opposite dimension ...
Moving forwards …
but looking backwards …
As I had nothing to look forward to
Except dragging along burdens
that were not my own …
But this time I was moving forwards
and also looking forwards …
Ready to anticipate and escape the boulder
coming my way, trying to crush
my whole life apart ...
For this time I was connected to my
true senses of life …
Not caught in the cross-fire of madness
and mindlessness ...
For illogical mind-sets
create their own trappings ...
and ultimate
entanglement !!...
YOURS IN LIFE
