Facebook Deja Vu

This is a poem I posted on Facebook yesterday. Since I have nothing else to post.. here it is.
It is heavily influenced by Alan Watts and John Lennon. I don't really feel it's mine as much as it is theirs.



Sometimes you know something is true
But then.. you have to tell yourself it's true
Hoping that if you tell yourself.. it will be different
But the world goes on regardless of what you tell yourself
And that funny feeling: that you can have can have it
By admitting you can't have it it... is fear my friend

One must not say to oneself, to let go of breath to breath
One simply has to let go, and breath will come naturally
You can only breath in by breathing out
You can only find security of being insecure
Can only float if you try to sink
Don't fight it, don't hold your breath

Let the waters curve you
In the same way you curve the waters
Suddenly you realize you are the water
With the capacity to realize
And therefore the capacity to know bliss

Then you touch her
In the same way she touches you
And then you realize there is nothing that isn't water
And when water is one.. really one
Well then we'll get things done... like they've never been done
