Somnambulist

Somnambulist                                                                                             

I have come not to teach but to awaken.
We’re not here to learn but to come to.

To acquire – to get, grasp, gather, is to learn
while awakening is a loss through love,

a thinning of the dream’s substantiality.
This lifetime, I’ve been much more

a learner/gatherer than a lover/loser.
I’ve been a somnambulist on the path,

incessantly losing my way
to learn how very lost I am.

Loss upon loss until at last comes rest – 
the waking up from this tumultuous dream.

O child of God, your weariness has become your solace.
Halt now upon the path and become the sought.
