There is a place that I sometimes go
Where almost everything is unknown
Where I no longer belong to myself
And into the depths I delve.
Here the secrets of the universe can be revealed
Here I can let go of my fears
For I know that I am held
Held in the embrace of change
Held in the embrace of the ancestors
Held in the turning of the page
Here at the edge of worlds
Dancing between
The chaos and the calm
There is a kind of clarity
A certain trust
In the unknown of what is.
Here at the alter of time
Dancing between
The mundane and Devine
I can let go of what is mine
For it is here that I become entwined
With the goings on of
Galaxies
Mixed up in the heart of the
Mystery
Swept away by
Synchronicity
Tangled in the tumultuous waters of my
Humanity;
Here on the strange precipice of
Infinity
There is peace;
Peace in the
Release
Of not knowing
Peace in the outpouring of
Grief
Peace in the struggle of
Love
Peace in the push and
Shove
Of everyday life;
Here in the occasional stillness
Of the
Present
I remember that I am
Alive.
In my heart there is a story
In my soul a question
In my body a movement
And in my mind there is an echo
An echo of a time long past
And a time still to come
An echo of something undone
And undoing
Woven
And still
Weaving
An echo of
Healing
and
Grieving
Of ancient hearts beating
Of searching
and
Seeking
Here on this strange journey of life
On this quest for connection
On this hunt for meaning
What are you searching for?
