Poetry

I’m beginning to feel her
Not just fleeting
Beginning to become a regular visitor
Perhaps one I can even rely on
That fleeting oneness
Total loss of ego and self at once terrifying and dazzling
I am a microbe in a gut flora in a stomach in a torso in a body on a planet in a solar system
And nevertheless
It is wonderfully refreshing
No god above or devil below
No judge eternal and damning
Just a love
Deeper yet, a silence profound and filling
Humming with movement
Perhaps our languages and inflections and vowels and grammar distract us from a silence
A silence unbearable if distinct and separate from ourselves
Oh and by the way
Don’t strive for happiness
Strive for learning all you can from this moment
