Truth B Told- I Chase Rainbows... Poem by Chuy Amante

What do we chase?
Depending on the direction
in which we are headed, perfection?

Do different illusions pop up
on the same path?
Love, wrath?

Do we share a path?
Are we on the same path
but headed in different directions?
Is there more than one path?
Or is there only location
on the same path?

I think I've stepped off the path
and sit still
or chase rainbows off path,
in distant fields

I observe without judgement
what you chase.
To sum it up those
attractors are Physicality-A race.
and the best of...
tantalizing delights all
how long before the fall?

A race against the clock...
tick-tock, tick-tock...

At 90 years old,
how will your T and A appear,
will you be hot
in that Sports Car from yesteryear?

Will everyone in town
want to be at 'your'
parties?
Will those
wood floors still
arouse you -hearty?

Will that tattoo
still
behoove you?

What does your path look like in 20,40,100 years?

~~~~~~~~~~~

I have faded off the path
but lost my way, no,
found 'The Way' perhaps

I chase rainbows, peace, beauty
or chase nothing, observe the chase,
laugh at its false pace, haste...waste...

I bless your chase
and your big race
may it fulfill all your dreams
no Winters,
provide perpetual Springs

This I do stepping off the track
this is where I lay back
In the clover looking up high
This is where the Golden Ships fly by

I leave the races and all its traces
share love with all in warm embraces

give to each as they desire
I'm just love, not for hire

All this madness
and diversion
as it appears
can only last so many years

Perhaps only after you're dead
you'll discover life's illusions
were all in your head

As for me, The Real Self realizing,
I'm out of my Head
and in Heart continually feel-izing

I bless your path and your way
but
This is where I fade away

Namaste,
but
I must stay
not
