what if

You spend

Your entire life grieving

Over a broken silverware

Or a spilled milk –

You spend so much energy

Paying attention to the past

Or future –

You worry about something

That has not happened yet –

What if you stop thinking about happiness?

What if you stop looking for enlightenment?

What if you do something that brings

You closer to here on your daily activities?

What if only here

Is where your essence begins?

What if you wake up one day and realize

 the life you’ve lived so far

Is only a dream?
