If You Are Able ....

to imagine a moving
centre that is at once
a centre and circumference
u may get a glimpse

if u are able to hear the thunder
in perfect silence u may
have a sense

if the centre u wish
to hold and anchor ur
life to is beyond grasping
or apprehending u may
have learned something
of value

there is a state of awareness
tho non-specific or measurable
that spells perfection
it refects itself in the patterns of nature
the perfect geometric forms
that indicate continuity

its harmony is beyond the empirical
senses and out of reach to the most learned
in the ways of mortals

it is beyond time and defies space
it is the realm of Gods that weave
being into the nothingness
that dance and kick galaxies
into creation with their heels

it is between the seen and
unseen, neither inside nor outside,
above or below,
it is beginningless and endless
and permeates all things
while harbouring no notion of self
or identity

turn to it to locate ur perfect peace,
love and fulfillment
as it is sure
unlike the transience
of material manifestation
or the perverse ways of mortals

if u discover it
u will see it everywhere
and keel in its awe, bliss
and ineffable Love -
u would know it as the source
and sustainer of all things

it is open never closed to any thing
everything exists in its ever expanding web
tho it captures/grasps nothing not even itself

u would locate it easily via selfless love
or simply letting go and casting urself
adrift in its shoreless sea of joy

do not ask me how i see,
see for urself
