A POEM ON DIVING INTO THE HEART by A.E.I. Falconar

[Guest guest]

DIVING

 

In meditation it is possible to dive-

deeper and deeper into the Heart

to a place where there is no disturbance

and there is absolute solitude.

it is at this point in the profound stillness

that the sound of my Self can be heard

like the sea breaking on a far off reef,

and it lulls the being into extreme calm.

Like the sea it is a music primeval

and there is no storm,

only the silken waves soughing.

 

When I listen to the sound of this sea,

I sense that I am a voyager

and this sound is a wind

in the sails of a ship.

But this sound is not of this world

for other sounds are heard distinctly

and cause the sound to die-

though it returns with the silence.

Sometimes I think it is a transcendent sound-

which speaks of unknown powers,

of cosmic storms and sun winds

sighing in the mind.

 

This is no earthly voyage,

and I see visions of ships

that sail on an unearthly sea.

Our ships sail upon a silent sea;

no wind and no sound,

but we move on.
