Edge of Space

[Guest guest]

Lifting off from the lip of this planet

in the words of London and Byrd, soundless,

 

i become an Arctic white flight, an Anarctic shard;

a Wingless-One spinning into space without a trace,

 

except this poem is being said, trying to say it,

to speak the Unspeakable of That Unbearable Face Bearing,

 

Bearing right down through everything-everywhere

at once, into this Heart-Cup breaking open in Brightness.

 

Unbroken Oneness in the Face of the Unutterable One;

The One of Such Beauty it shatters the Heart,

 

like spun glass hills crashing into marble mountains.

Then, mouthing something about Grace, this Fathomless Grace,

 

i am fractured by the Moment Breathing Breathlessly as me.

Who could ever say that God is not the Sky in every eye,

 

in every single eye beholding a Mirror of Light reflecting,

Rejoicing in Seeing only the Beautiful Beloved Looking back?

 

Behold the Splendidness of This Mystery and Marvelosity!

Marveling at the Moment

 

the Mighty Kindness mentioned by Mevlana

made Its Appearance as You, You, Darling, You, Mashuq,

 

White-Light begins to fill the room and "Suddenly,

i am Nowhere, again, Inside the Majesty"!

 

The Majestic Hearing of the Sound

of Nothing Singing as Everything.

 

Someone is Silently Singing

the Same Song of Songs that's been Sung Forever.

 

So quickly, i See the world sink into itSelf,

the Self, the Heart, God -

 

It's Emerging like some Radiantly Ribald Laugh!

Laughing at All of This, Making Merriment the Muse,

 

the Beauty of All Life, the Life of All

Shows Its Face as everything i See.

 

i See Me, i See You, Striking the Flint

of Sparkling Darkness, Alone,

 

as some Inexpressible, Translucent Being,

Being Born again and again, and then

 

Birthing ItSelf as Love's Only Child.

Born, Unborn, Eternal Love Making Love to ItSelf,

 

Now, and in all Ways, Always This Love.

Always, the Beautiful One is taking Love

 

and making It Dance and Sing

on the Wing of Joy and Bliss.

 

Kiss of Blessedness, Kiss of Grace,

Kiss of Awe and Bewilderment as we Behold Our Own Beauty!

 

 

 

LoveAlways,
