Within and Without
What is within is without
Projected from mind to
Universe – which in turn
Reflects the mind conceived.
A loop that vibrates - let music
Be the source of thoughts.
Let light be our constant and
Let the ocean be our grave.
Can feelings be real or
Must they first be conceived?
Within and without dreams and
Waking thought reciprocate.
I dream I float and pass you by
I wake and write these lines.
Ignorance is bliss? Well I who
Cannot see cannot believe?
A mind conceived, conceiver
Of a mind. A loop that vibrates
Let the bliss begin – in darkness
Let the constant light within.
