Beyond the story

There is a brand of helplessness

for every story. Let me not

be taken in

There is a way of winning

in every story. Let me not

be tempted

There is a way of breaking out

of every story. This is my hope —

to be unburdened from all former loops,

to be released

Beyond the story, where there is nothing

for me to win or lose or mindlessly repeat,

awaits the unity

or timelessness and opening dimensions.

Beyond the story

I am complete.
