Beyond this world


The knowledge of the past stays with us.
To let go is simply to release any images and emotions.

― Alan Watts

The art of letting go
Like a mechanical flow
Releasing anxiety’s hold

Physical pleasure’s gleam
Disappointed like an empty dream
Repeating a story untold

Destinations never found
In an evil sense bound
Pleasure’s grasp or a futile plea

Don’t hold on too tight
One day they’ll be much light
Abandonment forever free

The poor in spirit knows
Which burdens one must forgo
No heavy weight to carry
Beyond this world


may two thousand twenty-five
