All Lies as Myself

Wholeness pours like a liquid sea

a mosaic of wonder

flowing in forms of kaleidoscopic impermanence

flowing in changeless truth

here

I stop and touch what is lying upon

every strand of this topographical expanse

all that flows here lies whole beautiful

holy

I reach and touch and listen

present

i hear you singing from your immeasurable expressions

nothing matters, for this is nothing to hold onto

and in presence, meaning doesn’t exist

and there is no other

and here in this now

all things matter, for all things are myself

Wholeness — holiness
