The Will.

The Will

The will cannot be found in life alone
My heart goes out to all those that yearn
The water beneath my feet travels faster than the eye can see
My heart quivers in its sleep

No trace
No clues
Nothing is on my mind
Waiting for the next moment like a salamander sun bathing

This is not what I expected as a child
It is nothing like the challenge was made out to be
All glory and no desire
Why is there no one to teach the kids what it means to make fire

The fire within is sunshine in the rain
The fire within is the shell of a tortoise
The fire within must be held like a child
The fire within must be spoken to with respect

What moves you if not music
What moves you if not your lover
What moves you if not the earths magic
Movement is the expression of the soul

To stand still may be interpreted as a will
To simply be
And experience what is around with pure stillness and silence
Acting only at the right moment

Such a moment is worth a thousand years
It cannot be held in a bottle
Nor your mind,
For it evaporates as the eyes do during a storm

Your ears will also not suffice
Nor your tongue
Nor your skin
Leave it all at home

What calls is not so trifling
It does not require pain nor agony
It is not an it
Nothing may pursue it further

Complete like fire it may satisfy your every desire
Allow it to fill up the cup completely
And pour it out
See how it splashes on the floor

Spilling into every nook and cranny
One may not scoop it back into the cup
You must realize, it never spilled and is still in the cup
Be you

Let your moment define you
Let your life engulf you
Move on and move within
The journey you are on can never be expressed

So don’t try
Live and let live
Expect nothing

You’ll always be the same
