Another Night Another Dream

This Time About Scaffolding

Another night another dream 
This time I am standing inside a room
There’s a scaffolding outside it
And a tear where I stand—
A wide opening 

It’s inviting me to step outside 
Through the scaffolding 
And walk through it 
And go upfront 
To another scaffolding 
Where the real deal is 

I peek out from where I am standing 
It doesn’t appear dangerous at all
Even though once I step out from where I am at 
There will be the danger of falling off 
If I am not careful enough 

As I am standing looking beyond me
Wondering if I should do it
Step outside that is
The stranger, he’s here beside me
Behind me offering to help me do it

Should I do it?
What do you think?
Wisdom is screaming—NOOOOOO
But pleasure is saying—Goooooo
Enjoy yourself 
You won’t know if you like it
unless you step out and see for yourself 
What have you to lose?

It’s a skill, it’s a desire
You’ve got to take it slow
You’ve got to apply mindfulness everyday
To your entire existence 
Choosing wisely as you go along 
Not obstructing your path where you be going 

While at the same time 
Not missing out on anything that presents itself to you
To enjoy this life
The only one you’ve be given 
Presented with

Embracing it 
Willing it
To happen to you
As best as it can

Where have you been so far?
Until now?
Have you been far enough?
Have you moved your butt at all?

Or have you chosen to remain stuck
Where you belong 
Until heaven passes out
Another fat chance 
Or just drops you 
And moves on

It’s enticing, isn’t it
Inviting perhaps to think— 
What have you to lose?
Just do it!

Think about this!

Peace ✌️
