TUNING IN AGAIN  (1-22-06; a foggy, winter morning, East Beach, Galveston, Texas)      

     
dense white fog            
creeps softly in            
from off          
this gulf            
discreetly onto shore            
quietly erasing            
peripheral world            
away            
standing here            
upon this beach            
the visible world          
around me          
of just          
an hour ago            
has suddenly become          
narrowed down          
to only          
this softened circle            
of visible sand          
and peripheral            
surfs          
unseen          
ghostly            
rushing hush          
as its now          
veiled waves          
hypnotically          
roll in          
to gently break            
then dissipate          
like muffled            
rhythmic breath          
upon this vast          
masked dreamscapes          
tranquilly          
erasured shore          
where i          
too now          
it feels          
and seems          
have semi vanished          
here myself      
along with          
all these tall          
white            
sandy            
salt marsh            
dunes            
which flank          
me            
and this beach          
just fifty yards          
behind me          
have now all          
disappeared          
from sight            
as well          
enshrouded within            
this blank              
grey ghost            
of descended      
cloudy skies      
sent down      
in silent stealth      
upon this peaceful      
tranquil      
early morn      
and me      
here now      
from up above            
swallowed up            
inside its            
misty mouth            
surrounding me            
engulfing all            
in its mystic            
dream like fade            
of everything            
in sight            
where          
from this center            
where i stand            
all detail            
simply vanishes            
from milky blurs            
into peaceful              
empty white            
consumed within            
the mystery of            
its boundless space          
released          
from form  
from all usual  
more linear  
spatial orientation       
of visual definition          
cocooned inside            
it s hushed embrace            
wherein i m opened            
more fully            
here          
once more          
yet again            
to release            
and express            
these equally foggy            
vague impressions            
i ve quietly          
sensed            
and captured here            
as an intimate            
inward way            
of more deeply            
more completely            
more wholly            
tuning in  
without too much  
visual  
nor other sensory  
distractions  
which could otherwise  
pull me away from         
the more subtle  
higher frequency  
external and internal  
vibrational integration  
of vital  pranic flow  
which further nurtures  
and quickens  
my long awakened  
oneness awareness  
with all life  
with all that is  
in this awakened life      
i have now  
for so long known  
and lived  
above and beyond          
all else      
that      
i too      
out here now      
within this present      
self reflective      
ghostly moment  
where i am presently  
acutely tuned into   
this greater      
sacred oneness  
in which i  
so blessedly  
still live  
and so  
wondrously      
still am  
and inseparably  
shall always be
no matter
whatever future
incarnate form
i might take on
or be
here in this life  
in this world  
and beyond
it all 
throughout
eternity s
ongoing
ever unfolding
ever mysterious
flow
