Life is like hide and seek
Burying your faults under fuzzy blankets
Searching for truths and treasures
In dark alleys of your mind
Before lights fade and you are called home
Ready or not here we come
But we are not searching
Until we look into a baby’s eyes
And find the sea
You are not playing this game
It plays you
Until you realize
The hourglass is nothing but sand
To sift between your fingers
And toss into the wind
You have already won
When you stand silent on the mesa
Sunlight blessing your face
Tracing the shadows of the eagle’s talons
Looking over this canyon
You know
You know that you are
In that one place
That grabs you
By the corners of your mouth
And lifts you up
Elated for the moment
Enlightened forever
