Enigmatic

Enigmatic

A wise man once said
That the more real you get, the more unreal
The world gets, and I've found that to be true
One of the great mysteries of life
Is that while most of us pay attention
Only to the waking dream that surrounds us all
Looking endlessly for continuity
And a respite from change,
The life spark in each of us, that carries us each along
Is something intangible---
Forever still like a gentle painting
Of quiet summer afternoon
Yet always moving with a force from a timeless time

Common as the brown dirt beneath your feet
Yet mysterious and enigmatic
Far beyond any words you can find to use
Floating like dandelions seeds on a morning breeze
We all wander in the bosom of a life force
Far more intangible, mysterious and enigmatic than our own
The more you notice, the more you see
Much that is both beautiful and which cannot be explained
Wake up and look around you, my friend
Until life appears so complex
It becomes simple once again
