Under the aspect of eternity
Sobriety hits my vision;
Under the charm of spirit
I am inebriated by creation,
For creation is the action
Underneath all actions,
Unborn, unstopped, unstoppable.
Sobriety, not of body, mind, or feeling,
But of perception,
Is a state of listening.
The past is a speck of dust
In the wind of eternity,
The future, likewise.
Regrets and fear
Inhabit the surface of these
Infinitesimal grains of dust:
Watch them go by,
Watch them
Go by.
