Truth Remains - Vanessa Daou

I vibrate at the depth of matter

I’m back where nothing matters

At the rough edge of reality

I became the ancient wanderer

A chair, a bed, a book, a wall

My laughing Buddha on the ledge

And Buddha laughing

And the proud sky glow

I heard the unsaid

Cut into the frame

And learned of my window

From it I saw the unseen

And I saw the unseen

The truth that’s always obvious

The truth that’s never obvious

When beauty lost to our lips

When beauty’s lost to our lips

It surely will be missed

It surely will be missed

When love is lost and gone

When good and bad

There is no holding on

Dissolve into one

In the wilderness of my time

They’re indecipherable

Man’s rage for chaos

It fuels our rage for chaos

Blurs that simple vision

But if I separate

But if I root myself

The all from the one

In stillness and root myself

One by one

In compassion

The circles of confusion

There is no end

Fall away to freedom

And the truth remains
