of garments and gems

 

if life is only a dream

why do you seek what is not to be found

among the sleeping?

those who know not

of self, value and worth.

why do you covet what you perceive to be

wealth of robes and jewels

amidst self-proclaimed mystics and false prophets?

they who prey

upon self, value and worth.

why seek from others

what is only to be found

within you?

mine the precious gems of faith, kindness, and goodness

touch the hem of the garment within

dying to self, value the worth

here and now, awaken

to Be
