Heat And Light

It is interesting but unfortunate that light and heat are so mistaken.What we think is a knowing light is but a stifling heat.The friction of actionproduces a heat we take as accomplishmentAnd the more we accomplish the hotter we get.The heat is but the internal workings of image and obsession;the frantic pursuit of the goldwe dangle in front of our eyes.Why is it that when we burn outwe seek to renew the heatand never think to seek shade?There is another life waiting in the cool, listless shade.A life where accomplishment consists of nothing but staying cool.All that glitters is not gold.Much of it is the heat that we believe is light.Forget about regulating the heat;Life flows in the cool, clear pasture of solitude.
