ONLY THE DEAD KNOW HOW TO LIVE
Cross over— see the unseen,
hear the inaudible,
touch the intangible,
open the doors of perception.
Orientation taught by Jesus,
Buddha, Debs and Gandhi—
loving kindness and compassion
is mastered.
The hidden is revealed—
all comrades
without a wolf among us.
The fragrance of love perfumes the air.
We no longer kvetch—
Time has vanished,
there is no fear.
The heart is the higher mind.
Finally,
we learn how to live.
