Green Light

 

Plants have never left

The realm of Oneness

And therefore have not burdened themselves

With our illusions

And states of existence

And non-existence

 

Before we eat them

They do not exist

And after we eat them

They do not cease to exist

 

They lie in that perfect tranquility

In between

And in both

Simultaneously

 

They are part of the Oneness

We seek

 

In their wisdom

They never grew legs

And identities

And stumbled away from the One
