Our Most Perfect Return


In the morning when we wake up there is a moment
when we don't know who we are but feel no panic
a perfect living in the midst of imperfection

How sweet the whole world is without thought
before we add our little fears and doubts
and open our eyes wider than we can understand

All day long then a cloak of despair enrobes
the light of the day is diffuse and limited
a slow hand encloses the mind with thoughts

If we didn't have such memory or the ability to conceive
brilliant children of self treachery
we would run out into the fog and dissipate

Like we will later on when the afternoon turns
bright with age and sags against evening
and the bed returns to sleep in the shape of us

Innocent in the darkness of our true being
we slip out of our self clothing into the all
empty of the marks that designate us

One different heart-beater better than any other
marching after the idles of a single searching mind
all day alone in a dream of self improvement

Lost again the moment we close our eyes for good
our dream of waking up better than we were
sweetly eases away into our most perfect return
