Perception’s Window

~

we are infinite beings
awaking slowly
from some infinite place

our coming to be
unknown to us as any mystery
our essence an enigma

learned in stories
in waiting relationships
gradually we open to our identity

awareness dawns
like the rising of a newborn sun
breaking on our window of perception

we feel its warmth
and flow effortlessly into timelessness
as though immortal

we see not over the horizon
for we see no horizon
but limitless eternity

we comprehend no end
immersed only in the now
given of our origin

it is therein exists the miracle of life
we are infinite beings in this moment
dreaming to sustain the moment

Deep

~

I sleep the sleep
of the peaceful deep
where pain is quelled
and secrets keep
where hands of time
no longer sweep
and sorrow sewn
no need to reap

fall quiet love
please do not weep
my lifelong climb
had grown too steep
my soul longed
to sleep this sleep
for I’m at peace
in this silent deep

Down Down

~

my peace
soul-felt profound
down down ever down
into the waiting silence
without so much a single sound

absorbed
my spirit drowned
without so much a ripple
into the mute eternal
that gently buffets all around
