The Plateau<\/p>\n
Cracks in reality.<\/p>\n
As I reach the plateau everything shimmers like an illusion.<\/p>\n
Seeing becomes knowing.<\/p>\n
Then, they try to bring me back.<\/p>\n
The dance of Mara, the great illusionist.<\/p>\n
In recognition, I think “why now, of all times”<\/p>\n
Then I remembered how they never want to lose one of their flock.<\/p>\n
Ooooh. So I’m close, then.<\/p>\n
They throw at me temptations of wealth, fame, women, food… Sensation all sensation.<\/p>\n
They are all building sandcastles on the beach, trying to get me to play.<\/p>\n
But gentlemen… The tide is coming in.<\/a><\/p>\n It’s just a game.<\/p>\n My mind turns towards what is really important.<\/p>\n And to me, that’s YOU.<\/p>\n
