puppet or puppeteer! !


Walking by the river banks
A fishes home and grave
no dual sense of knowing
just Lila playing its game

when one becomes two
a phantom is born
when two becomes one
no words can explain

A puppet on strings
knows not of its dance
the audience applauds
not knowing who commands

The thinker of a thought
is but itself a thought
cradled and nursed
when sad and distraught

This thinker is but a puppet
no reality of its own
suspended on a string
Not knowing of its source

It lives in the shadows
its home is thus its grave
yet a subtle watching over
puts a damper on its pace

Surely in this seeing
of the one who claims to be thee
the puppeteer steps forward
and takes the puppets place instead.


Surely
