JOHN MCINTOSH
A moment arrives for everyone
When the scent of True Freedom
Touches their Heart
The fragrance is not familiar
ITs aroma very subtle
Yet beyond intoxicating
Never does IT diminish
IT does not tempt with false promises
IT is not a mistress of seduction
That comes for a night of passion
Then dissolves into the wisp of forgotten dreams
IT cannot be described or confined
IT lives in the empty space where the life we have known
Has been surrendered
Where the pull of the temporary
Has lost its control
IT does not bargain
IT does not ask for anything
But in the end we must give IT everything
All we thought important
All hopes and dreams and every illusion
Must be left on the alter of identity's death
We must become as NOTHING
NOTHING is Who we Really Are
And only the Awareness of this is needed
When Freedom’s aroma wafts past our inner senses
There is no turning back
No compromises, no half measures
IT is not a choice but an arrival
At a journey without distance
When we say YES to 'What Is'
And Life removes the last vestiges
Of sleep from your eyes
