The Invisible Cloak That Could Never Exist

I imagined an invisible cloak that could never exist,
I called it time and space  
I gave it the honour of reality in my mind,
And the meaning of weight in my body,
Until this imaginary invisible cloak that could never exist,
Weighed me down with its heaviness,
And it was all there was to the reality of me. 

That was, until I saw the reality that always exists,
And this aware presence became the only thing I could see,
Its weightlessness lifted my heart.
As I came to understand this is all that ever exists,
I realised it was the essence I had called “me”,
I was revitalised by the sacred self-illuminating light of this,
And it was all there was to reality of me.

Then, I could no longer perceive the heavy invisible cloak that could never exist.  
Like a distant dream I once had,
It disappeared from the habits ingrained in the mind and body,
And if it ever re-appeared I chose to remain in the freedom of not knowing, 
And all I could be was this sacred reality,
Free of the invisible cloak that could never exist.
And it was all there was to reality of me.

With Love,
