AWAKENING

Where is the truth?

   About this or that

Einstein had a simple childlike question

   How does the cosmos work?

A black hole is discovered, but

   It is millions of light years away

How does your garden grow?

   What can you really teach?

Does discipline mean anything

   If it disrupts creativity?

How do you arrive at the center

   Of things you know but don’t understand?

Does the collision of opposite forces

   Explain the connection of light and dark?

Do answers come just by standing by

   Or is intensive work and process in play?

When tulip bulbs are money

   Should you weigh yourself down with gold?

Is a work of art a masterpiece

   If it is never brought to light?

Where is the truth

   In whom do you confide?

Don’t ask the experts, my friend

   They will be wrong and then surprised

The mind is a work of art, but is

   Not studied in “Appreciation”

Time will never run out if it is

   Used judiciously in our endeavors

Sanctity for the truth, a necessity,

   But then only for the wise

Stanski
