tyranny of completion
disillusionment would have one believe the finish line is the goal
narrow this mind unduly constrained within this fable
fantasy dissolves like the casing of a pupa
emerging from this restriction reveals new layers of will determine toward this more
or wash
away the tyrants the tellers of titles and tales guides of no one
the same fait awaiting us all perhaps then complete
is not a very good aim after all
go for attentive
each stroke of life breathed upon the clock of this world
can find a life we discover we are living
not just alive
unfold your layers so that even when there appear no more
fresh discovery another emergence
