Enlightment

ENLIGHTMENT
by
Richard Vance


Enlightenment,
The path is lit,
A journey to the peak;
It’s not to raise our consciousness,
Or find ourselves,
Or Learn to love,
Or become more spiritually content;
Or come alive,
Or meditate,
To speak to God,
To hear the roar;
Epiphany!
So simply put
To see the truth,
And finally know
The sacred snakeskin’s shed,
A post cocoon,
A caterpillar learns to fly
And turns into a butterfly,
The journey's done,
The trips complete,
We’re simply here, right now;
To know.
To be.
I think, and so it’s so.
