Undoing

How to take a life
Of knowing of thinking
Of learning of doing
And dedicate it to
Being simply Being?

How to create
Unknown from known
Unthought from thought
Unlearned from learned
And undo that which is done?

To live progressively more
Clear, naive, innocent
More awestruck with this
Living as she presents
And more saddened as
Selfhood resists and cries out
And weeps for his glories.

To sit still to sit quiet
To say nought when you
Might otherwise
To become comfortable
With the quiet of
The invisibled.

To find a quiet
Spiralled eddy in the
Busy-ness of life's living
To find that eddy
With the driftwood
Dozing loafers.

In all this to be
Gentle on yourself and
On the others
For you rushed and
You rushed and you
Rush.

Let it settle, let it fall
Let the mood sink 
With the bustle 
Let it wash and
Let it wander as it
Takes you.
