Enlightenment is like a paintbrush
placed in the hand of a mannequin
who has fully captured your attention
while the child behind you
dances wildly with paint stained hands
soaking the world with expression
Prove your devotion to love and truth
through right action and discernment
and you will be surprised to find
an even finer instrument in your breast pocket
while those who sit idly before the storefront window
become dreamers frozen in time
Seek then, balance
in the stillness of eternity
creativity in the well spring of your soul
and moral fortitude in honest endeavors
but never forsake that untamed child
who twirls with perfect passion
So that as you receive the gift
you may create timeless masterpieces
that stir the souls of drifters
toward reflection and awesome illustration
of their own inspired potential
For unto them as is given to you
a personalized map will be unearthed
from the catacombs of imagination
to guide them through dark and lonely nights
where the heavens dance on silky swells
toward the ineffable shore
