Re—membering

In a life

full of

 words,

 noise,

 clutter

it is difficult to

 re-

 member

 our self,

  our true self,

   which 

   has always been,

   since 

    our beginning,

   but now seems

   a faded

    memory,

   an alternate

    reality. 

We have been

master students,

quick learners,

 in the science of

  forgetting. 

It is demanded

 of us

in this

 never enough,

  try harder,

   be more

    world,

in which

 we

  live,

   or

  simply 

   exist,

in which

 we are 

  dis-

  membered.

Perhaps

salvation

 is in the discovery

  of the path

   to the true self,

where we

 come back

  together,

   as one,

   the one,

who

 has always been,

 since

  our beginning. 

May 

 this be 

   the moment of

    our salvation,

    our remembering.
