I’ve seen too much
Things eyes shouldn’t see
Let alone gaze upon
Too late to erase memories
That never can be undone
No looking back
Hoping it was a mirage
An illusion
That will fade
And disappear
Now every other thing I see
Reminds me of it
That lingering dream
That I can ever be separate
From all else
your best friend reality reminds you
to rest, relax, heal, regain a sense of yourself
your friend reminds you
too much thinking, doing
or anything
could be the death of you
your best friend reality knows
the spaciousness beyond your limits, and
the limitlessness of the space filling you
your friend imposes no boundaries on you
with friendship, or in any other way
and requests you do the same
everyday, a journey to visit with your best friend
a new opportunity to experience
whatever shows up in your world
sometimes it’s easier to see things
and not worry what you call them
this makes for a better visit with reality
