Am I still looking for enlightenment?
MySelf, God, the Absolute
But through Silver?

Through family, friends, and intimacy?
Love and closeness

Why?

Security, peace, happiness
Some sense of completion,
Oneness, belonging

It's all the same thing
No matter what area I search in

Work , spiritual stuff,
Writing, loving, arguing
Actual people and relationships

Still looking for the same thing

“Enlightenment”
“Self-realization”
Myself
That feeling(experience) of the infinite

Love, peace, happiness
Security and completion
Never being 'alone'
Belonging, support

Being one with someone or something
Being understood and understanding
Like mindedness

A distraction, a friendship
Laughing and joking
A shared experience
Some sense of excitement

Anything to take the mind off of
The problems of the moment
An escape, a release
To forget myself

Inanimate objects, dreams, fantasies
Actual people, inside myself
Whatever, it's all the same

Different fingers,
Pointing to the same moon
No difference really

It's still a hunt for completion
A search for what's missing
Another trick of the mind (ego)

Running away from myself
