' Living while dead '...

Certainly we are living
compared to stones,
but compared to
Spirit
we are dead.

In a dream you think
you are seeing and observing
but those who are standing
outside you, awake,
know you are sleeping still.

The living ones
call the dead 'the dead'
and higher living Beings
call living ones the dead.
