Entering the stream
as if a point of no return has been reached
as light illuminating a moment of darkness
or sound log passed into silence
no trace remains, no desire or need
the stream holds life in its sway
constant flow, forever in a state of
flux, of uncertainty, our thoughts
and senses grasp the music
our craving devours beauty
yet the moment of realisation is when time recedes
as fast as we think
we have possessed it.
So, enter the stream
for you will never
be the same again
you were never
the same
ever.
