When things become unbearable
Pretend that life is nothing more
Than a dream
And the solution to every problem
Is nothing more than merely
Waking up.
Do not contemplate how
The waking is to be done
For that is at its heart
A deeper mystery
With little to tell
If an attempt at waking
Will have the desired result
Or induce a deeper
More problematic
Level of sleep
From which waking
Would be more fervently
Wished.
Instead
Open eyes
And be patient
We all wake up
Eventually.
