Raj Arumugam - consolation

we filter a sunset or a sunrise
and the grass and the trees
and the oceans
into a consolation;
into an experience
distorted by one’s own wants and needs
and thoughts
and systems;
but if one can look at each as it is
then one sees its beauty,
its own worth:
and in that beauty
there is no need for dependence
