Only the witness
Each of us bearing sole witness to our dreams,
often the main character until we awaken and see
we never really were a participant; only the
witness.
As in this waking dream, the Awakener adds.
When roused from sleep, once and forever, says He,
we shall see, we shall see – we never really were
the participant we think we are; only the witness
to an insubstantiality, suffering its illusory
bindings
yet removed from any real peril,
having never left our very own beds.
Only an intimate witness are we
to this waking dream beyond
anyone’s choosing, design and control
with only one dreamed-up character
a willing participant; only one,
sowing with perfect equanimity
this hardscrabble dreamscape
with the insidious seeds of irrepressible truth.
O child of God, auspicious is your dream.
This time you envisioned the Avatar.
