THE ISLANDS

THE ISLANDS

THESE ISLES OF CREATION ANCHORED IN THE SEA
IN EXPRESSION ARE AKIN TO HUMAN BEINGS
AND ALL WONDERS OF INEFFABLE NATURE

The islands seem afloat in the sea
So have they been through the ages
Yet they have not gone on a journey
Even as they are barded with waves
When a tempestuous storm rage
They are anchored at the deepest level
At the bed of the ocean floor
Where mainland and island are stayed
And connected as one massive body
That is the generous, loving Mother Earth.





Individual human beings are islands
In the vast sea of Infinite Expression
Discrete as we perceive them in vision
Yet firmly held as one great mass
At the deepest level of our origin
In the unspeakable Cosmic Assemblage
Where there exist no iota of disparity
As it does happen with shallow humanity
Arise all ye chelae of the Truth
And embrace the verdure of your nature

THE HUMAN LANGUAGE IS DEVOID OF SURE WORDS
TO SCRIBE THIS UNSEEN LINK OF MAN AND THE DOTS
THAT DO APPEAR AS FLOATSAMS ON THE HIGH SEA

THE ISLANDS
