The Eternal Witness

The Eternal Witness
 
I once lived in the heart of a sun
dust and body
now I am a leaf
 
The sea of creation surrounds me
I move fluid eternal 
in eternity
the witness 
the child
the eye of the ever present 
> NOW <
oscillating in thought
betwixt the material and the spiritual
I am a leaf on a tree
 
The pillar of heaven I descend
though I am not bound by stone
the breath of life 
as I play 
with light and clay
dust and body
 
All that cannot be named
I am
all by virtue defined
they veil and reveal the subtlety’s
the mysteries
a plain 
a facet surface catching
reflecting
 but a part

BEHOLD !

I am the diamond
the translucent expression
of all that lays within
 
Many names I have born
not the least of them  
your own
for I am the face within the face
that looks out upon this world
 
I once lived in the heart of a sun
dust and body
now
I am a tree.
