Infinite possibilities
of what is happening
outside of me
I will never know

Yet my mind wants
to make up
some sort of
story
a reality
where I'm all right

I know very little
of what is
and it can be tiring
to navigate
all the possibilities

Depending on my mood
it could be a nightmare
or it could be heaven

This dance with the illusion
how much do I affect it?
If I don't think about it
what direction will it take?

I would like to free myself
of the speculative nature
of my mind

relaxed enough
to feel the Tao
without my thoughts
interfering

I still want to know
what people think
what people do
where it is
all going

I don't want
to give up
on reality
I want to
listen
differently
to the music
without the
fear and
the anticipation

Can I quiet the mind
so that I could
hear beyond
my normal perception?
