One Moment of Ignorant Bliss


. . . hold on a mo . . .

Oops,
There is only
One
Moment . .

. . But
It appears to
This
Conditioned Mind,
Of
Yours and
Mine,
As a chain of
Moments,
Known by some as . . .

 Time.

This
One
Resplendent
Moment
Is,

Independent,

Pure and Clear

It
Stands Alone.

Come
Realisation
Of it,

Original Sin . .

. . it does
Atone.

Every 'Seeming' Moment
Is
Already Perfect
exactly
As it is,
 This Moment has
Meaning,
Regardless
of
Interpretation.

It does,
Yes,
Even if
in
This Moment
Your Life seems
a
Mess! 

Can
Perfection
Be
Improved
Upon?

. . . No . . .

Not even
For those still
Lost
In
Separations
    Throng . . .

. . . for they
Have done nothing
Wrong.

Most
Live
In
Thoughtful
and
Emotional
Madness,
Not knowing
The
Eternal Moment,
Their lives are
Filled with
misery,
Suffering . .

. . Sadness.

One can only
be
What one
is . .

. . . tell me . . .


. . is ignorance Bliss?

 Don't try to work this poem out. Just read it. Let it be what it is.
Let the words wash over you like a
refreshing shower of rain
on an otherwise
sweltering
day.

. . . on the other hand you might make a comment, 
it'll only take a mo . . .

  2. Okay, this will only take a mo... oops :p

    Yes, the moment is already perfect, that is why it cannot be improved any further.

    With nothing to change, the ride of life feels much easier :)

    Thanks Doug :)
