Are You Experienced ?

 

 

An instant here,

a dayglow dream -

I pushed into the land of light

and witnessed there a subtle flight

of myriads of tiny jewels

which sparkled in the luminous night.

 

Another time

I taste again

that taste which soothes away my brain,

inside that space no longer circumscribed

the drapery unfolds

and light's etheric dance

melts the shadows of the cold.

 

And then once more I hear the sound

So ancient, trembling in the ground,

So near, so far, it comes to be,

the echo of eternity

whose music is of you in me.

 

A scent from out of earthly range

drifts slowly on the wind of change

A haunting message for the sense

a trickling through the memory

a hint of a half-forgotten story.

 

And then my touch felt many things

Yet feeling through this sense still rings

talking of unity with all,

while objects slip and graze between

the blurry outlines of a dream.

***

I tried to write beyond the sense

of every other day's experience,

my words laugh and their echoes rhyme

they seek to find a shape for times

like coalescing sheep

which bleat and try to flee

as intuition nudges watchfully.

 

For peace lives in a pathless land

yet gently rests in every hand,

whilst Truth is yet another word

and seeming vague,

yet truer than the lines

our rulers made.
