when i was younger

when i was younger

i believed that those that were the most able

were probably the oldest and the wisest


but as this life unfolded

they turned out to be the most innocent

which made no sense to me for a while

and then became the greatist joke of all

that we have played on our self

and the innocents were once again sacred to me


those that acquire knowledge

have forgotten how to be

and no longer see the wonder of life

which is beyond all knowing


life is not something you get

life is all that we are

and we are complete within our self


we are all lifes gift to life

and there ain't no not


thinking is the dumbest idea we ever had

and awareness is not a product of thought
