Voids within the void and conduits within the central conduit
We keep refining sensibility with unwavering prayer resolute
The Sushumna is no doubt the central funnel
Throbbing with bliss, a divine enabled miracle
Yet this practice asks of us to visualise
That in time we may recognise
Cylindrical capillaries as carriageways of energy
Of divine electricity
Layered one inside the other
Finer & finer, subtler & subtler
Meditating thus on the imagined innermost channel
We go there and in innocence ask God for the miracle
Meaning that we vaporise and so be to become
As a bliss mist with the divine one
God being the way as also the means
This is the knowing from this practice we glean
18-August-2020
The agapanthus
for generations
lined the carriageways
and driveways
of Australian farms
and cattle stations
also called Lily Of The Nile
a native of Africa
a sublime pairing
with jacaranders
a scene quintessentially Australian.
We are parasites on the earth,
We are bandying words with our creator,
Babylon is burning blue,
And the people are getting scared of you.
england will be drowned by tears,
Who wants to live another year,
Christmas is over, A misonomer,
Survival on the shore.
The wreckage of carriageways,
Jacknifed and strewn,
Every voice speaks of doom,
From morn till noon.
The rich are now begging in doorways,
The homeless have taken back what is yours,
The underground know the score,
All we ever wanted was more.
