The Sage Told Me

Life is but a decoy, the sage once told to me
Only a subset of what truly is
We’re fooled to be limited, he laughed at me
How can you expect total bliss?
Existence is timeless, it’s not what it seems
Fighting the flow will lead you amiss.

Harmony is the true aim, the shaman led me on
Stressing the fabric will only make it snap
Let it all go, he sighed, release your mortal bond
Holding too tightly, in turn, makes a trap
Disposing your ego becomes the magical wand
Being part of the One is the critical app.
