Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 the place of merlyn “...Can you give the wisdom of your heart precedence over the knowledge of your mind....” -Lao Tzu yet i will follow you, my dark one, yet i will follow you within the crystal cave of my mind lie many gems lie rubies upon sapphires each richer than rainbows faceted stones shattering into shimmering shards shards unfolding dimensions never to be explored you yet i will follow, my shadowy siren, you yet i will follow far beyond these colored gems resting in fragility deeper within the crystallizing mind lies the true gem a living flame beyond brilliance yet within opacity a diamond neither light nor dark nor form nor formless follow you yet i will, my enchantress, follow you yet i will beyond all that shines but still within stillness still i will pilgrim beyond gaudy shine through the glare inside the dancing crystals yet beyond this dark cave into the cave within the cave where mystic minds touch i will follow you yet, my nimue, i will follow you yet into the dying that is formless living above all things deeper than dream is the empty cave of the mystic mind where blind hands touch darkly and lightly hold fast clumsy feet dance upon grace felt clouds of unknowing yet i will follow you, my mirabai, yet i will follow you walk the way that is the deeper way into the iridescent cave stumble past this cave of illusions into impending mystery crawl even beyond all the empty phantoms of the mystic mind past even mystery itself to arrive beyond at the place of merlyn i will follow you still, my black madonna, i will follow you in stillness to the stillness that is still beyond all conceivable stillness arriving there each within the other’s embracing arms two sacred hearts kissing as only one beloved kisses another exploding galaxies within galaxies into an infinity of stars and yet i will follow you into stillness, my golden beloved, and yet i will still follow you into clarity Hail Mary, bride of all creatures that sorrow, pray for now and at the hour of our death. mark christopher valentine (august 20, 2001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
