words ARE all of us --- we decide what is truth and what is an illusion

SOUND AND WORDS

 

 

How do words speak to the Soul?

 

In the beginning was the word

 

And the word was unknown

 

Words rested

 

In the Unborn Buddha Mind

 

In emptiness,

 

An echo of timeless memory

 

Pulling itself from a trance,

 

As it were,

 

And remembering itself as

 

Singular vestiges of Love,

 

A returning echo

 

 

 

And Then

 

The word was spoken

 

Language was born

 

Misunderstood, misshapen

 

Misread and rehearsed in the verses

 

Identifications with subjectively and

 

Objectivity were born,

 

Oblique and hence quite forlorn

 

Silences are spread in chasms

 

Unsaid and oft read between the lines

 

Of sentences strung together by

 

Particulars and particles of beings

 

Who hear what they want, a

 

Highly trained selective listening process

 

Gleaned as education and higher

 

Learning, sometimes considered

 

Both a modicum of thought and

 

Subtle

 

Conservation of energy

 

 

 

Now we run against walls,

 

Walls of words against words

 

And beings who speak words that

 

Conserve not energy and so become

 

Destructive in nature, intent on

 

Conserving secular thought without

 

Thought to the thinker often forgotten

 

In the context of barging in unannounced

 

And walking without thinking or

 

Remembering the sounds of a

 

Distant thought, a distant howl,

 

An echo

 

Of the original thought:

 

Who loves and who hears echoes

 

As

 

Sounds are gathered in the first

 

Breath of Life

 

 

 

And so Light is born in the memory of Sound

 

 

 

 

 

LIGHT SPOKE

 

 

 

And Light spoke to its kin,

 

Darkness.

 

Heretofore unknown

 

Hello,

 

My name is_______

 

I have just finished a 12 step

 

Recovery program to find my

 

Light

 

Light, the one I lost in

 

Sunday school when I sang

 

" I'm going to let it shine, this little light

 

Of mine " , and somehow I forgot,

 

Or somehow I was

 

Overshadowed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AND SO

 

 

 

..And so

 

Sound and Light

 

Found each other

 

Fell in Love

 

And created

 

Creation

 

In one orgasmic Bliss

 

.. And so

 

A child was born

 

In this

 

And words fell

 

From the Mind of God
