Forgetfulness

away with mind
on clouds of forgetfulness!
how satisfying it is
to be here now
under a watchful moon
how ever miraculous the days
as purposeless as ever
but with this difference
where purposelessness was doom
and lack
is now a river
where once grew must
and should and ought
is now is and be and now
where fears' brambles and vines
once sought a host
wildflowers now bloom
undisturbed

oh light and air
you wondrous meaningless things!
to me and us you give yourselves
completely
with no end no gain
in mind
from celestial heights
to lowliest earth
you the masters
the teachers of love!

How nice just to leave it the way it really is, sublime!
