i write to you
you were there
then you were gone
you spoke the words
i loved to hear
i write to you
what love
is to be found
on the cusp
of our waking dreams
i write to you
i was there
then i was gone
i spoke the words
you loved to hear
i write to you
in plain type
in bold type
the poem appears
then disappears
i write to you
thankful for your gifts
of loving kindness
of absolute transcendence
to the worlds of love
you were absent
then you were present
you spoke the words
i loved to hear
in this way the alchemy was more
than the creation of porcelain
i was present
then i was absent
i rewrote the words
you loved to hear
in this sense the alchemy was way more
than the creation of porcelain
on the very cusp
of the closing bell sounding
clarity and sense and purpose
reveal themselves to be together
as the basis for continued love
in the presence of awareness
one story
turned on its head
turned around and around
the players change
the players are rearranged
one two three
three two one
single pointed focus
variable pointed focus
with the camera snapper
the absolute winner
welcome to the paradise
of our spacious awareness
the journey to nothingness
where nothing is ever
any more than nothing at all
where nowhere
is never anywhere nearer
than here and now
