Post Awakening

present in between
of inner and outer
of cause and effect
of arising and passing
observing
witnessing
facing
the entire dance
of life
of what mind is.

no one
no self
no you or me in it
except
conditioning
playing out its game
again and again.

not my choice
not my doing
except intention set
and hence
motion taking its course
churning
moulding
building
a mindscape of experience
of what feelings come to be
of like and dislike
of want and not want
of resistance and holding on
creating the illusive
you and me
but all merely a delusion
of unrecognized error.

and when awakened
from the seemingly slumber
from the mind
all there is
simply co-creation
mind now a tool
of what in the past governed you
now merely an opportunity
for experience
of what creation can bring about
no longer a victim
rather a master
of creativity
of non-holding on
of non-aggression
of non-delusion
of non-doing
simply
recognizing
the matrix of the mind
and creating as before
except now
awakened to it.

no one to care
no one to attack
no one to defense
no one to respond
except
again and again
reflection reflecting one’s own experience.
