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?
