I
Gurus of all kinds speak of "space and ether"
To help us imagine Universal Consciousness
I would rather say "God" my sister, my brother -
But to continue conversing, let me use "Sky-ness"
II
When I began to imagine the "Ever I Am,"
I could look at the sky, day or night
Beyond bountiful clouds, or stars and I among
The space between, free of death, fleeting life
III
Sky-ness has allowed me nigh perfect fearlessness
When I die here, I will be everywhere
No longer confined in this trinity: body, soul, spirit
I stare at sky, become sky-ness, not YHVH or Yahweh
I am sky, all the canvas there ever is, space and canvas
Watching, witnessing, coloring Universal Consciousness
