Let your mind wonder
as you begin to ponder
what we deem to be life.
Feel your body sink
as you begin to think,
the next logical step, death.
Feel your mind release
and you might feel at peace
free from the distractions of the world.
Now it may seem
as if you’re in a dream,
but reality will come rushing back.
Slap you dead in the face,
pull you down from space,
cause life can do that sometimes.

life is a sweet lie
and
death a bitter truth….

see life brings dreams which are far from reality and we live our life in anticipation of achieving them.. so its a life…Let me quote here Rumi
A man goes to sleep in the town
where he has always lived, and he dreams he’s living
in another town.
In the dream, he doesn’t remember
the town he’s sleeping in his bed in. He believes
the reality of the dream town.
The world is that kind of sleep.
Hence a lie……

happiness is a mysterious motor-knock that mysteriously disappears..
and living life in present moments makes it worth living.. because past and future unpredictable…
