INTO MYTHIC EMPTINESS      

           
how do i          
find            
and approach            
with calm clarity            
the sheer edge            
sum            
of my awareness            
of all i            
think            
and know            
all i sense            
and trust            
all i understand            
and dont            
of all i          
feel            
and believe in            
then once there            
standing at its        
precariously teetering           
precipice            
looking out            
without fear            
or doubt            
into an apparent            
voids abyss        
yet somehow sensing            
everything            
yes everything            
within its formless            
peace            
from whence        
up out of        
its cosmic silence            
arose the slightest            
breeze            
which in drifting            
by            
slid its sensuous            
unseen tail            
soft and sweet            
across the quick        
surprise      
of my startled            
face            
precariously teetering here            
out upon this        
abrupt            
sheer edge            
of me        
trying to get      
my once free      
soul      
unstuck again      
from  this vague        
timid
doubtful sum            
of all          
i think          
i am        
yet not           
releasing in its        
freeing reliefs      
liberating            
gentle touch            
the sudden realization            
that even in            
such emptiness            
as this            
all possibility            
still truly exists            
as in that            
immeasurable moment            
came also            
hope and faith            
though a faith            
unlike religion            
but rather in      
my innate intuition            
a core truth        
trait      
i know            
trust            
and own            
implicitly            
in my gut            
alone            
along with confidence            
enough            
to help me            
take            
that first  big            
step            
out into            
the boundless depths            
of great uncertainty            
off the sheer            
steep edge            
of that still            
teetering precipice            
of all i            
thought i knew            
of all i            
sensed            
and trusted            
of all i            
didnt understand            
yet somehow did            
of all i            
felt            
and believed in            
now i choose            
while looking out            
into that apparent            
voids abyss        
without fear            
without doubt            
sensing everything            
yes everything            
within its formless            
peace            
to freely leap            
with open joy            
out into its            
mythic emptiness            
at last            
in hopes            
of finding something            
new            
within its endless            
possibilities            
which truly            
still exists            
beyond the this            
and that            
of everything            
yes everything            
that is so            
cleverly masked            
beyond our shallow  
grasp  
just as  
it is
as well 
within  
everything  
yes everything  
thats not
