Streams of stars, water streams,
streams of thoughts and streams of dreams...
You are the streaming behind all streamings...
The mysteries of Life... the Mysteries of death...
Mysteries of breath... the stillness...
the awakening... the vibrant animation...
You are the Mouth kissing all Mysteries into mystic being...
our deaths, Your inhalation, our birthing,
Your exhalation in NewLife exhaltation...
You are the Mouth of Causeless Cause,
singing into existence all dimensions,
all universes, the Cosmic Becoming,
all essences in simple *be*ing...
You are the speaking EarthSea... each wave
upon each shore a syllable of Your evermore...
You are starsongs & starlight,
sunstorms & Gaia dressed in Life;
You are the fertility that grows & nourishes all life;
You are the *that* which passes thru all,
engendering all, the energy of temporality,
the erotic quiver, the numinous shiver,
the flight of the arrow, the heart that receives,
the blood of the dying,
death's dark embrace unto deathlessness...
You are Life/Death, Yin/Yang, yen-whang/Yes!/No!
Loving/Hating, Light/Darkness, drunkeness/sobriety
the polarity & the unity/division... Your lila...
All that comes of You returns to You...
for it is All You... & could be nothing but...
Even nothing... You, too...
& when i embrace You in everything i see,
even the most fear-fraught of dreams:
"Who are you?" i could barely moan,
paralyzed & struck-dumb... "Who are you?"
in long fear-groan, Your mysterious footsteps
on the stairs, across the stars?
cat splayed across the window of the door...
Barely functioning, barely able to get the words out...
"Who are you?"
i *knew* Someone was there besides the cat...
opening the door *for* the cat... maybe 2 or 3 ayem...
No one else passed thru that i could see,
carefully not opening the door enough for such to be...
But closing the door, i turned...
shadowshape materialized *behind* the door..
How did You get in?! "Who arrre youuuuuu?"
still half-in-fear...
"You need me, you call me..." hands raised in air,
head-top high, two feet apart,
clapping against mine raised to them in sealing...
Your shadow become *real*,
voice & form of the Woman who loves me
-- then *gone*!
"You trust me," You said, another time,
another early ayem...
Your lingering Kiss... my lips tingling...
Your Presence caressing the crown of my head...
"I enter -- in order to Seal the Configuration..."
You said, foretelling before i dreamed what was to be...
"I want you, already, in ways you don't know..."
*Some*one said upon the night*streams...
Was it You?
The speaking was no Dream...
Who *are* You, Who comes to me
in manners unsettling & strange?
i have a Name i call You...
but Who are You *really*?
"You verify me," You said.
"I'm here to help you get out those feelings
about yourself that you don't express." |
