Soulsisters Realm
soulsisters realm
clanking and thumping into things
I pass through the door.
all clatter, chatter drops out there,
outside where every day blands
thought, imagination hides.
cacophony and chaos of mind
are not welcomed here. it remains
a fidgeting cast off, without.
here is a Tibetan sanctuary
filled with energetic calm about
the walls, draped across the chairs
it is tangible, to the point
of almost visibility.
within the courtyard the ancient
tree, fruiting wisdom, sapience with life.
it is the beginning of any where.
there are no sharp edges
nervous trills. emotion becomes a river
flowing away, stately, humorously
as it chuckles over the hard bits
finding moments of lightness
even in the darkest of places.
voices are low, melodic, a breeze
of pondering. there is no need to hide
within fabricated worlds.
time is unnoticed
there is always enough
this is the dream time
all is present forever
in the attic of the mind
incense: sage, sweet grass, cedar,
tobacco gifts in red cloth bundles
never harshness, never doubt
all is gentle as the hush through pines.
upon return, for there has been
a great distance travelled,
believe as deeply as the unending
sea of souls, words have been heard,
honoured, peace abides.
the former whirling dervish retreats.
