The vision

[Regnak]

The vision

A man once had a vision
a vision of evoloution
a vision of a higher being
a vision of a being no longer bound by feelings
a vision of a being no longer haunted by desires
a vision of a being who no longer carries hate
a vision of a being who can only love for love is all there is
a vision of a being who has moved above the chains of flesh
a vision of a being rejoiced within the joys of spirit
a vision of a being no longer hating
a vision of a being no longer condemning
a vision of a being who carries no secrets for the truth is all there is

yet this very vision is fading by each day that passes by
petty matters defined in words such as religion and nationalism
petty feelings defined in words such as hatred and envy
petty lives defined in words such as emptiness and forgetfulness
petty times defined in words such as the lost time and the time that forgot love

I sigh and I cry and slowly as I feel my tears brushing my cheeks while i gaze upon my children
while i gaze on brothers and sisters
lying in a pool of blood
moments ago full of life they were
now they have left and no longer remain among us
think of the word love and within your heart a torch will flare to illuminate ignorance

think of the word brother sister or child and love will florish within you
forget the gardens of hatred and give birth to the meadows of love
plant each rose by your acts
plant each rose by your love
remove the pettiness of hatred
remove the roots of the weed within our earth
give birth to the child of the stars
enjoy the beauty of the heaven
gaze upon distant stars
illuminating our darkness
enlightening our perspectives
those stars are born of hope for each being of the vision of forever love
