Transcendent and Immanent

within this lucid dream
myriad objects appear
although it is an illusion
yet appearing so real

our consciousness localised
within a specific organism
we feel separate
from God and the universe

this drama being enacted
within which we play a role 
is merely the dance divine
conjured for our soul’s delight

there then is nothing to be done 
save making our eye single
that as breath by breath we bilocate
we are both transcendent and immanent

I’ve probably been fortunate, yes, to imbibe some level of direct realisation. It is all grace of course.
