Off Center

Off Center?

When sensibilities no longer sustain,
very little can one’s heart abstain
from all the accidental wounds of life.
Dullness as well as dim creates strife.

Too much attention given little things
is not like someone who always sings.
It is instant preoccupation from fear
that nothing will ever really be dear.

Manic rewards for good behaviour
are not like blessings from the Saviour.
Some ecstasies are certain moods
only burping after good foods.

A true, heart-felt awareness must be
all the important means setting soul free.
All the quiet knowledges have sense
that give any mind sweet recompense.

Any other, lesser moods, result in hurt.
With the issues of life they are curt
behaviour... the dullness of depression.
To choose senselessness is confession
of caring only for rewards of sensation.

Living off-center won’t bring salvation.
