Baby cat resides on the couch ..
totally at peace ..
happy.
Her energy spent ..
to catch that mouse ..
to eat.
Spikey plant resides on the limb ..
totally at peace ..
happy.
Absorbing the sun ..
preparing a feast ..
not for him .. for others.
Both content ..
both relaxed ..
both mindlessly blissful.
Human thinks and strives to "be" ..
to achieve ..
amass more than needed.
Proudly flaunting our gift of reason ..
calm ignored ..
Nature not heeded.
Frantic mind construction ..
falsely measured growth ..
declaring "we are superior"
Intellect abused ..
greed constantly used ..
to steal and guard and be in arrear.
No couch nor limb ..
will cradle them ..
Happy there has died.
I dream to awaken ..
hear the perfect sound ..
of silence.
I dream to be happy ..
feeling ultimate joy ..
as "life music" soothes my soul.
Baby and Spikey ..
I watch you today ..
teachers I've not before heeded.
Ego be gone ..
intellect too ..
I realize your lessons are needed.
to be ..
Happy
