Dreamer and Dreamed

Postby Fox of the Oaks » 15 Aug 2010, 11:37

Dreamer and dreamed,
Both are but a dream.
Seer and seen,
Both are yet a screen.
Speaker and spoken,
Both yet unwoken.
Actor and stage,
Both just a play.

Neither one nor the other,
Will have its total way.
The two dance in contrast
And ne'er override in fray.
Life is a whole,
Integrated change.
Infinite in vision,
Indeterminate in age.

Meaningless to mumble,
Such truths so meagre made.
Mystery will move you,
When silence have you bade.

When the heart is at the centre,
Radiance like lightning will you taste?
And crumble fallacies before you,
Place power in its proper place?
Grow peace towards the natural way,
Pursue purpose to your soul's great depth?
Wander eternally through an eternal day,
And move to Truth in lights vast kept?

Powerful words there Pine Raven, I liked the sense of the infinite in your work.
