duet on time and space

[Guest guest]

The flow of this is abolutely beautiful....and it so very much expresses

life...in its fluidity...rather than the concrete thoughts that try to encase

it into a solid form...I sometimes wonder if that isn't the most common

difficulty on this earth......To appear to be of a solid form....trying to

express the living life within.. which is formless....

[Guest guest]

Held hostage by thoughts,

words waiting to be expressed,

is my life.

I am here in a place,

an underground well,

where the earth, heaven and hell

are as one.

To pour forth the everflowing,

eternal breath of my whole, unaltered by man,

I wait.

Hands shall not find me,

nor will the mind,

only the opening heart of the earth can.

She knows I am here

and longs to expose me,

and sometimes a whisper comes out.

But it's hard

to be shoved behind noise

from this world, so

in want I stay silent

until I am found.

Duet on Time and space

 

 

Time flows

Into spacethrough my liquid hands

transparency melting into transparency

trying to grasp

the ineffable essenceone more second

of love’s sweet nothingnessof eternity

of divinity flirting with mortalityTime flows

Into space

through my fluid mind

forming my transparent heart

placing

resolving

just this moment into my hands

to love just this one love swindling

cheating all possible other loverswhile another one passes away

and so we caper into the westering sunwhispering

dancing, singing, and playingthe secret of eternity into my ear

a symphony, a chorale, a balletreminding

a climactic crescendo of silencethat it is me who passes away

to arise into me flowing through the eastering sun
