Do you see this and not that?

Do you see this and not that?

 I have noticed something peculiar one day

Traveling about on my way

A man was standing on a corner taking a look

From his vantage point a double take I took

I asked myself what does this man need to see?

Is he waiting for something that needs to be?

This is not the only man who does this to seek

So I walked deeper into my consciousness to take a peek

Little did I know that this man like others

Can only be lost in searching for another

But the deeper I went to understand this find

This has been going on for years all thru time

So I seemed to have left those and detached

It is desire a form of suffering one is attached

The real truth is from a ZEN* point of view the only source

It is like a man is riding a horse in search of a horse

I heard this once from a sermon and the preacher did not even know what this meant. Sadly enough he was in the same predicament. As it means what it implies, you are searching for something outside yourself but you already have it within you from an awakened one's point of view
