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.
