My Universe Is Askew

A poem

My universe is askew

Why can’t anyone see it?
Why can’t anyone feel it?

Like a ship at sea
Rolling with every wave
Like a drunken hobo
Who cannot find footing

Every single movement
Crashing into something

My universe is askew

How could I stop rolling?
How could I find footing?

Everything is changing
I am the universe, flourishing
Everything is suffering
I am the universe, dissolving

Every single moment
Ticking away in my mind

My universe is askew

Should I stop fighting it?
Should I surrender to it?

Surrendering to nothing
And in nothing find everything
Surrendering to everything
And in everything find nothing

In this surrendering, forget the self
And be enlightened by myriad things

The last two lines of this poem are inspired by Dogen Zenji’s Genjo Koan.
