Your Purpose In Life

It takes two to tango Life is a dance Not a stench No tension Just attention The devil is in the details Note the entrance It is not wide enough But it is too close to the truth Life is an open avenue A two-edged sword Don't cut yourself Curtail your thoughts It is your feelings that matter It doesn't matter how successful you are If you cannot master the sentinel feeling of stillness or Silence You will be reduced to an algorithmic machine Chasing after identities, expectations, achievements and attachments You will find desolate places abhorrable You will not seek aloneness Not because you are happy But because you are not ready to know the truth Always following the latest trends Hooked to the constructed billboard of reality You will not create a platform for Silence to emerge To take you to the dimensionless realm of nothingness Your purpose in life will remain tasteless No passion to add flavor to your recipe Just the fluffy substance of materialism Sticking out through the roof of your mind Your purpose in life lost in the rigid structure of your thoughts Let Stillness or Silence be your true character And life will be a river of inspiration That brings peace, happiness and Love to your being ©Kenneth Maswabi
