Nautilus

Inward seat of heart,

Swayed not by ghosts or murmurs.

Watch it all unfold.

Birdsong shimmer’d in,

Passing through malignant fools,

Through open doors.

Waiting, O waiting.

Out beyond, beyond for now.

All is here to see.

O humble wreckage,

Quaint as ever for I see

The Sage does not part.

Monad peering through thine eyes,

Mirror in the dark.

Fire above the marsh,

Treading toward aimless cause.

Nothing else will do.

What may I fathom?

Poised behind this screen for weeks,

Illusions depart

We will be here

Every step of the way.

You will get there in time.

Beyond time, you are there always.

Keep going.

Hooded quiet sage

On the path of many stones.

Stepped over the light

By way of the road.

All along alone I’ve seen

A thousand days so far between

Healing.

A thousand lives alone I’ve been

Roaming light throughout this dream

Of being.

Saturnine eclipsed

Undo the strain.

Blinded eyes that trip

Will see again.

Masses of the dawn

Forgo this reign.

Upaya

Smokeless fire

Of smiling essence.

Here becomes a vision.

An open wordless call,

Not born of sullen schism.

Hear in half light,

No way of chanced word.

O, road of autumn night.

Golden silence heard.

O thy sordid ways,

Tremble now amid the haze.

I will see you there.

O seed of seer,

Of tragic majesty.

Reveal to me now what I hear,

Of love lost and soon to be.

Peer into my eyes

Softest shining starling light.

I am coming home.
