Notes About The Poem
for Unseeking Seekers contest ;
"Line of inquiry: What is that awareness by which each body-mind feels alive and becomes aware?
Eye of the Eye
When the silk of night falls upon my skin,
I close my eyes,
unlock the heart of stillness,
as thoughts sleep at the back of my breath,
and wordless light
wakes within the pulse,
a lucid awakening ~
tracing tranquility,
for I am nameless,
undisturbed and untouched,
by the ghosts I once followed,
like jasmine among wild violets,
like lotus among forgotten reeds,
thornless and fragrant,
in sync with the
frequencies of the formless cosmos,
sprinkling stardust
upon my crystalline consciousness,
calming the racing thoughts
that once controlled
the motion of emotions…
O beloved,
feel these feverish fingertips,
forsake the labels hung
across my sky of healing,
as in this mindfulness,
I abandon the emptiness of ego,
to embrace the pristine presence
of hyacinth haze,
the ethereal gaze of your purified aura,
where love and light
moves slowly into
the musicality of meditation…
Tonight, I see beyond the seeing,
and dream within dreams,
to walk through astral ropes
to a place where
there is peace and quietness ~
silence that sings and wraps
this soul in rainbow radiance,
a petrichor of rising rays,
where memory holds no misery,
and the mind homes
the musky mists of clarity,
detached from darkness
erasing the cluttered noise,
and that which dragged my
silhouette to the dusk…
So feel me,
I am the kundalini light
and the magical mirror that
reveals the gossamer glow of gold,
for I seek nothing,
but thoughtless awareness,
sitting in my muted orbit,
like a blooming flower
facing the phases of the moon
with resilience and patience,
silence, my saffron salvation
serenity my sanguine sanctuary,
this zen ~ my zealous zephyr …
