Scrutiny

Underneath the complicated puzzle of our dreams,
Lies a barefooted man, holding the universe sealed in his hand.
Only a few bother to wonder, what he truly means,
Who is he, that dries abundance off this land?

Some called him "ego", a master of despair.
Some called him "maya", illusorily appearing there.
Some called him "little me", the feeling of "I am".
But who is he, that dries abundance off this land?

Be careful not to ask this question,
If you consider yourself unprepared.
For this fire is no ordinary flare,
Everything cracks open in the break-in of its glare.

What remains?

Some called it "Paradise", a land that's evergreen.
Some called it "Heaven", a place that's free of sin.
Some even called it "Presence", the place of no in-between.
It is for sure, a place where love is Queen.

If that is true and so this place is always within reach,
Then what's the hook? Where should one look?

Well not too far, not farther than the present scene.
Hold your intuition close and keep your senses keen.
