No water satisfies
no success understands,
no greed fulfills,
no woman cures,
no man hungers,
no adventure thrills,
no beauty amazes
one,

if one cannot sit and realize
what one already has just sitting.

the magic it took
the eons it faced

for eyes to see
for ears to hear
for fingers to point
for thought to make
for mouths to speak

one moment of thanks
remember ages of making

-thoughts at night, consciousness ether traced
