Poetry of the Ecstatic

Living in Wholeness

Photo by Ryan Klaus on Unsplash

i am lofted

within the starry heavens

as presence unfolds

i am as a misty cloud

rising up upon mountain crests

and falling

gently down

into mellow troughs

I am a condor

expelling all chains

as i soar effortlessly

within a self

that is all that is

Unencumbered

i flow upon changing winds

moving wherever the wind shall take me

i journey upon

untraveled landscapes

and discover

the endless tapestries

of the universal wholeness

I travel down open roads

and dance ecstatically

in dizzying forests

and find

the source of reality

wholeness

has no boundaries

nor destinations

as i gaze upon

this endless scope

love blazes

streams of sunlight

forest of stars

fountain of life

the consciousness of it all

for a moment

stop

check it out

leave time alone

stop progressing

stop clinging

step inside

stop here

die into living

be in boredom

be where you are

listen

all is pulsating

electric

here

awareness flows

laughing with joy

sparkling with beauty

here it is

the depths of silence

the dance of the infinite om

gaze upon this present

let it all hang loose

arrest yourself here

stop for a moment

soar upon

the awesome landscapes

of the unknown

let us wander

and meander

wherever we shall go

and as we journey

let the earth

sweep you

into her arms and

let the mirrors

of the world shine back

until you see

there are no mirrors, nor doors, nor other,

loosen and release

into this wonder

you need not go anywhere

to find what is already there

you are already free

whole

all that is

December horizons

soften as

tears of clouds

migrate into a

frozen quilt of white

i wander

my own path

and find

myself

alone

in quiet

resting in

never-ending woods
