Transcendent Sky

Human Unity

playing in a vast field of Oneness
a false division strives towards the True
in conflict and tension seeking to Become,
yet lost in its own distorted vision:
a sight born of separation’s lie
casting shadows where only Light exists,
imagining abysses where only Connection dwells;
illusions mimicking as reality in mind’s divide.
embodied beings upon a missioned Way
struggling to realize a reconciled Image,
a universal diversity upon the breath of the Divine
moving together in a forgotten unison,
collectively blossoming a limitless Life
where Youth flows from the womb of death
as an unending Expression of humanity’s One Soul.
from moment to moment life’s endless labor reveals,
awareness expanding upon Surrender’s poise,
minds joining with vastness of Mind,
hearts merging in a single Ocean Heart,
bodies melting within a Supreme Body;
a secret Closeness hidden in the kiss of space
as an animated Existence envisioning Itself
with married eyes gazing from the inner Expanse.
stationed in Truth’s indivisible Being,
an Eternal Love with an Infinite Embrace,
a Supreme Harmony dances between Souls,
intimate and free, a caress of God’s Identity
in the born substance of a Human Unity.

Spirit of Change

as consciousness continues along its habitual grooves
and life mimics history’s dying memories,
a spirit of change works its transfiguring grace
pressing infinity upon a finite world
awakening eternity’s gaze within the vision of time,
a vast power mingling with every atom’s move,
penetrating the heart of all unseen things,
the microcosms which build into the macrocosm’s eye,
the forces which vibrate within a vastness supreme,
calling forth from within the sun-birth of matter’s cells;
a spirit that dwells in the circulating air,
which inhales an unknown presence inhabiting all
and strikes its blows upon satisfaction’s lies,
purifying the aged truths of humanity’s ways
in the transforming fires of divinity’s dawn;
stalking falsehood with its illuminating Truth
it grows in the years and appears in the obvious,
an invisible worker of commonplace miracles,
dissolving all obstacles with a mere touch;
it tilts perception towards a newly lit view,
fashioning beliefs and thoughts by harmony’s rhythm,
arranging every atom by the Divine’s omnipotent Will,
it smiles in the child born for the Future;
it is a wave of living truth, conscious and free,
which finds as much delight in a rock as in a hand
and seeks to manifest the unknown in earth’s unknowing cradle.
