'Enlightenment'

Rating: 5.0


Enlightenment

When sleep becomes a boon
out of tune whether it is noon
When legs become spindly
and walking is forgotten
When time holds no hand
and becomes a blur
When this world begins not to exist
Does all become darkness then?
Who knows…
But the mind itself, what it's playing with
Or is it all a blank?
A Dark?
An emptiness?
Or…
Enlightenment?
