Sinking into fields of depression
where all we say or do seems
somehow wrong
and oh, the storms of self-reprisal
raging deep within
while still, the world spins
into concentric orbits
for the dawn (oh dawn
of living glory)
will always come again in
an ascent of living,
loving adoration of all life.
Whispering, the winds begin
to tell a tale mysterious
enhancing mood by tracing
routes we’ve yet to travel on
and galaxies begin to form
within a new perception
of this world viewed from
inside out
from angles never quite conceived
by mortal mind before
where angels soar to make
amends
for the baseness of the course
of past survival.
A majesty of great release
repeats itself unendingly,
for here we come to know
the sense of all infinity -
where every tint and hue
begins to form,
and dreams begin the process
of creation;
relaxing into heat that never
quite feels hot
yet warms the icy feel of
never real.
For there, just at the deepest
depth of all depression
is exactly where all sense
of height begins;
when we finally take the
time to delve and dive,
opening our every sense to
the art of listening
Can you hear the endless
chanting of all movement?
Look then, into the ever-changing
mists of dreams not quite
yet here
imagining themselves into
intensity of form
contracting into root, then
seed, and feeding on
the magic ever moving all
around.
Sunken over centuries of mind’s
undoing
yet building in a strength
beyond magnificence,
our future calls, insisting
to be heard;
more clearly than the mass
we know as movement,
insisting that we change
within its depth
in this deliverance from
all despondency.
As the mists of magic mind’s
unknowing
suddenly begin to clear to
sight
and all that we hold dear
becomes
one central image, so inclusive
that sun and moon stream
forth in majesty;
just as the winter fields
respond to spring.
And every hint of love we
bring to being
outlasts the countenance
of intellectual appeal,
revealing that the source
of all that’s real
is here, in every particle
and chance
that dares to dance this
love’s refrain
to rise and to become
our April rain of flowering
