EMBRACE OF COMFORT
Comfort, comfort….from whom?....or from what?
Who and what awaits us,
that who and what that so resolutely hides
itself from us now.
Comfort, comfort,
don't look for sense in it,
yet it is not deniable.
The very thought and awareness
testifies to its presence.
Comfort.
Comfort.
All is not lost,
and will never be lost.
Most dare not look for that Source of comfort
for the prospect of its nonexistence is too
terrifying.
It is too abstract,
too irrelevant to this materialistic world,
and too unneeded in this age of screens,
entertainment, and distraction.
Comfort is something in a bottle or a download.
But a day comes, inexorably approaching,
when yes, comfort,
irrational, inexplicable
comfort,
will unavoidably and desperately be needed.
Soon enough, soon enough,
making no sense,
from Source indistinct and incomprehensible,
comfort, comfort
will be needed,
and will softly embrace.
