An Introduction to a UK Nondual Webring and a poem

[Guest guest]

A new webring on nonduality by Roy Whenary, author of The Texture of Being... a

friend and poet who taught me so many years ago that edge of transcendence...

words of skillful means that have their essence in the poetry of life. For me

nonduality began in SatsangDiaryUk.

Now for my poem:

 

perfect protocol: how does it begin, where does it end?

 

1.

 

 

sometimes the silence is so

deadly

i can hardly remember the perfect

first line to my poem

and i fall into an inkwell of despair,

plunging into my own self-destruction,

 

Narcissus is heaven bound or moribund

i can not tell,

 

lost for 40 years

in the desert of my self-annihilation

just an ordinary inebriated besotted fool,

blinded by

my authority,

sighs of resignation travel lightly

over my reluctance, facets sharply cut,

shattered stained glass memorabilia,

pictorials

endless colours, krills of an ocean

I drink

 

scattered

into the

foursquare chapel of my elongated loneliness,

a beached whale of an image

 

i have become my own executioner

killing myself with the sunrise

that appears unbidden to worship

and save the world from my tangled,

mangled need to be a reluctant messiah,

an artist of

perfection,

 

delving

into the indigo, a Krishna blue,

dripping

into wild plum blossoms

into the psalms of Leonard Cohen

 

and i remember, i am saved

 

i'm not here for my judgment

nor yours,

i'm here to love without recourse

my symbiosis a new leaf unfurling

at the speed of light,

an offering

to you, my enemy mine, my beloved stranger

 

where is the doubt that could not love?

 

2.

 

if i touch you now

my fingers will grow wings

or perhaps orange blossoms
