THIS ISN'T THE ONLY ONE

much as I despair of this life

I have to remember this isn't the only one


it might be wiser for me to stop regretting

all that was done that can't be undone


and know a future hardship will be the atonement

if I were wise and strong enough to handle it right


with more behind than ahead of me

it feels fine to settle into the moment


(the same eternal instant from which we all commenced

and in which we always live)


it's all well and good to know this as a concept in mind

but to live in it as the Only Reality there is...ah...


there is where the illusions of knowledge fall

and I do my best to disregard...and rise...
