Life's Mystery | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As I stood not knowing All that was showing Was this bright light Consuming, a flame, fire What I did know Is that I wanted more So I doused the flame Extinguished, as I became water Why, because it flows everywhere In and around, touching All that it reaches the open spaces the hidden places As fire, I was a devourer To become this fluid Like a light shining down A glimmer, as it were, liquid Becoming and making a shadow Now I can be the devoured You can touch me Run your fingers through me As I moisten your skin As I quench your soul Ah, but it goes both ways This is how I become one With you and everyone Some liken it to consciousness I call it being awake Splash me on your face The feelings are flowing All around and over everything There is nothing I cannot touch This is my desire Yes, this is what I want You can build a dam But, nothing lasts forever When I'm let loose I can burst with great force Repression is not permanent The soul and its satisfaction Is the undying thirst Much unlike the reflection That we all naturally do It can be calm or soothing Or stormy, as if in anger, Or like the waves on the shore Like the crashing of my soul Experience is the erosion Then wisdom as I awaken What is a waterfall this "white noise" Of what I hear and don't hear Just before my 'eyes' open Where nothing is spoken Feeling this substance There is no resistance It knows not time It is everyplace Soma, soul, life's mystery |
