Revelation of Presence
I am nothing
but relaxed into
the revelation of presence
i sit grooving into
the all-encompassing isness
i meander deeper and deeper
into the living forest
trees swirl around each other
while billowing storm clouds grow
rain begins to fall
down from
the kaleidoscopic sky
dew drops
form upon the deep green
of infinite leaves
i take my time
there is no rush
no hurry
no worry
A wood thrush flutes
in the distance
while two white-tailed deer
look in my direction
i can’t help but be in awe of
the intricate songs and dances
that arise forth from the
ongoing waves
of impermanence
the earth is soft and swollen
beneath my feet
through a fracture in the granite wall
chimes of rainwater trickle down the
inverted canyon
all is as is
no rights or wrongs
no yins or yangs
in this place of wholeness
as i look around
the multifaceted woods
i see that
all roads lead back to myself
here in this presence
there lies no violence
for all is wholeness
all of it
including me
in presence
there are no lines of separation
nor in this presence
can anything be segregated or categorized
in this presence
nothing can be analyzed
for there is no past
nothing can be progressed
for there is no future
in this unbroken expanse
diversity flows in infinite strands
wholeness cares not for one’s arrogance or hate
wholeness simply is
and love flows free
