Slice of Life

Portrait of Buddha, enlightenment not in sight
Open spaces, fears a many
Silence outside, voices screaming in my head
Hope all around, hollow within
Dreams float in the light of open eyes, reality resides in darkness
Effort to pace up life, life comes along laid back
People surrounding, lonely inside
Signs of growth, vision of mind blinded
Existence is a routine, loop of routine is tightening
Time is ticking away, I am still on the same ground
Words are many, takers none
Questions complex and countless, answers meaningless and frivolous
Seeking reasons, claim to reasons denied
Turf is still the same, players left the game
Game is still the same, rules have changed
Right and wrong is a perception, perceiving direction in vain
Truth within, a farce outside
Collecting myself, soul is reaching beyond self
Humming a tune, verse is lost
Am right here, mind is wandering…
