New poem: "The Work"

 

The Work

 

Maybe Gurdjieff was right,

that people really are asleep to life;

but he was wrong to believe

that we are not born with a soul,

and whether the mystic philosopher

knew how to “create” our own

immortal soul was a matter of dire

commitment to the Work, the path

that wakes one up from the hypnotic

sleep of life and sets soul free from

the false shadow self that keeps

everyone asleep to life.

 

Composed in Tiny Beaches,

Georgian Bay, Southcentral, Ontario,
