No Moon In The Water

So
if it's just so then
where is it now when
I find the moment
uncertain?
Broken water pail -
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now.

So
I want to hold on
reflection's all gone,
no ego - so.

Broken water pail -
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now,
broken water pail,
hold me in the moment,
no more ego now.

I would
drink the dregs of daylight,
break the bread of consciousness
and dream:
dream day for night,
nightfall around us,
waking, dreaming,
awake to the dream.

Broken water pail -
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now,
hold me in the moment,
no more ego now,
no moon in the water,
no more ego now.
