Soul Laughter

5/17/11

After years of being witness

to my troubled egocentric antics

mimicking victim, villain, and hero,

using clarifying gift of hindsight

interpreting absurd, paradoxical, insane world,

I've become most thoroughly amused

by choices made along way

garbed in so many personas,

distorted robes, identified as 'me',

falsely believing their 'ultimate truths'

only to have them change,

then taking 'mis-takes' quite seriously

supposedly proving flawed, dysfunctional makeup

without any humor to soften

lashings for assumed miserable failure,

and now older, hopefully wiser,

hearty chuckles escape through grin

realizing I inhabit same 'Universe'

but overall perception has shifted,

enabling view of magic, miracle,

that permeates all of 'Existence',

including myself, intertwined as 'Oneness',

beautifully magnificent teeming diverse phenomenon

given the powerful responsibility to

create 'Sacred Dream of Life'

full of exquisite soul laughter.
