Empty is Full
It happens,
you are no longer clouded by flesh,
your verge shifts,
a million miles is but an inch.
The bright brim of an ocean of Consciousness
becomes the light of the stars,
and that light is the mind, not your mind,
for there cannot be two minds,
two consciousness. It is the Mind.
There is no separation.
"You are no longer a drop in the ocean,
you are an Ocean in a drop."
-- Rumi
You have spoken this truth,
into your ears and mouth many times,
yet your persona; your 'me-ness'
has turned away
to look at its reflection.
For an instant you dropped that mirror.
The I Am opened a window in your heart.
You brimmed over a lip of selfhood
not thinking to look back,
not thinking
you poured.
