Do not be disturbed <br />by the <br />little disturbances <br />pervading the atmosphere. <br />For, it is not the <br />most persuasive of effects <br />that often rules over <br />the soul. <br />Pursue life and reality <br />above all else. <br />Do not be troubled by <br />encompassing shadows <br />that seem to dangle around <br />the perimeter of vision. <br />Do not surrender to <br />dancing neon lights <br />that seem to flit and flick <br />around the jangled glare <br />of unknown perspective. <br />There are attitudes that <br />snap and grab around <br />the dying of the mind. <br />Slippery webs of sawdust <br />that grasped the remnants <br />of the deserted heart. <br />Open up the bottle that <br />contains the images <br />of peaceful existence <br />for they are the waves of <br />the mangled distractions <br />that define and confine <br />the perception of self. <br /> <br />You are the one <br />you are seeking <br />to love.<br /><br />Chris G.
