cleared of the fear of longing

cleared of the fear of longing

i become open to the suggestion

that the times on the telephone

carried more than the message


there through exchanges

and handsets

where dew

on bakelite transcends


and dials dial

imaginary numbers

such that the distance

collapses to love

in the cavern of abandonment

in the cavern of abandonment

where grand bells echo to the work

in foundries of sand and iron and lead


where molten rivers flow

filling every corner every crevice

every wish-fulfilment moment


in the cannon of those abandoned

where dust and silence remain in line

with the thought-transference mind


where peace and love and goodwill

become the triumvirate soldiers

steadily but surely continuing together

as is then

as is then

as is now

as is the student

as is the call for tea

with such clarity

shear lightness

of simply being

before the pains

which thrive

behind the closed eyes

of meditators

around the world

then the peace

the blue skies

of contemplation

with our hearts

at the centre

the pillars

of the morning

as it is

as it was

as it always

will be

with such love

and shear beauty

of our being

i am on fire

i am on fire

with passions burning

while the tall grasses are higher

than the breeze so so softly learning


my body is a cauldron

of love felt feelings

while the crystals in season

dance upon the ceilings


i am in regeneration

as if a fusion forming

that the silence of the station

seeks out the new light dawning


my soul is salvation

with its deep defences

as the open door mentions

our shared love recommences

in that moment

in that moment

as also

in this moment


in that place

as also

in this place


on the journey

as also

among the journey


in this midst

as also

in that midst


with that love

as also

with this love
