Truth/Eternity

my eyes were closed
the first time i saw the
-- Light --
the source of continuous
radiance
was independent
of physics,
language, culture
or any discipline/qualifier
you care to name

the quality of that
Light was of everlasting
it was indisputable
-- Truth --
not of opinion, interpretation,
conjecture, geometric co-ordinates or
any measurable method
of location
but of
-- Perfection --

words only allude
to the unutterable,
ineffable splendour,
the magnificence of
-- Being --

other designators that indicate
-- Infinity --
exist in most languages
a quality beyond measure
and description,
have you ever attempted
to fit infinity into a finite
linguistic box?

understand that whosoever
claims to utter truth
is a liar,
though mystic poets
are able to push language
to the necessary extremes
to remind you or to trigger
a recollection,
a remembrance
of who/what you really are

Yes, you have it,
Truth (Infinity) is all-inclusive
by nature,
beware of those
exclusivists that would
attempt to divide the
continuous whole,
they are in opposition
and rivers do not flow uphill,
their hell is their reward --
beware lest they drag you into
the hole they have dug
for themselves,
their nightmare is NOT
your reality

understand that (God) Infinity
is unable to hide by nature,
it saturates all existence, forever;
you are surrounded, permeated,
absorbed, saturated in perfection/
-- Love --
(my favourite designator)
how is it you remain ignorant,
unaware of the splendour?

Fear is the only barrier
that is able to separate you
from the knowledge and bliss
you inherently possess;
be perfectly clear,
no cowards are able to enter paradise;
from fear arises hate, violence
and every perversity
known to man

we are either reduced to
cowering, cringing
slaves or we assert our
universal Love in unity,
and harmony
and reclaim our
rightful inheritance.

i could have reduced this piece
to two words
-- Eternity/Love --
but you wouldn’t have
believed it was You
