Into the Blue Black

~~~River of Time~~~

When I find myself

facing you

in this place beyond time

I see gossamer forms

where bone and flesh

once buttressed and sheathed

you, an endless night

where a solid stance

once anchored and sustained

you in earthly

understanding.

When I stretch my hand

out to touch you

the spaciousness between us

springs to life,

teams with sparkling possibilities,

a perpetual silvering

stream of consciousness,

where mind plunges into

embodiment and servitude,

and submits itself

to mortal reality.

Here

in this space beyond mind

I intuit knowledge

of the purest kind

impart its language,

now resonant with

the deepening rhythms of heart's play,

which eventually gives way

to a dance with

steps relinquished for 

eternity.

Desire flows

in this meta*physical place,

tranquil, eternal,

a river brimming

with mysterious treasures

and shimmering pleasures. Into this

runs a fluid movement outside time,

a deep current that resists

thinking itself forward

by surrendering

in absolute faith.
