BALANCE POINT (6-18-2001, Galveston Island, Texas)
in nights deep
still
awareness easing
sensing
distant dreams
that come
and go
then fade away
into dreams
more
distant yet
which at times
like here
tonight
seem so very
far away
though still yet
somehow
adjacent to
this waking dream
im sleeping
through
adrift in silence
listening
electric aspects of
my scattered
being
spirits essence
present
calm heart beating
semi conscious
feeling
relaxed afloat
aloft expanding
across vast canyon
softness
of shoreless
tingling quiet
intuitive subtle senses
weightless
arising in me
feeling through
this darkened
plane
of emptiness
seeking forms unseen
where deeper
perceptions
often come resurfacing
in symbolic insights
gleaned
through
subconscious snapshots
released
may even come
to reap
soul yearning liberation
as inner truth
within
begins at last
to more
freely shine
its boundless expression
of exhuberant
being
through uninhibited
open heart
no fear
no doubt
from past
nor now
only harmless ghosts
of experiential
growth
unless you cant
let go
release from its
blind droughts
self confinement
of self
become
wide open channel
of bursting
passions hope
unlimited consumer
of radiant life
vehicle of awe
and wonderment
awakened conscious
balance point
both of and
between
heaven and earth
living vessel
of love
free
to spill out
upon this world
as my senses
release
these effortless filterings
then settle back
like sunken
sediment
into some other
semi conscious
shallower level
hypnagogic state
of dreamland wanderings
slowly gradually
back up through
receding
dark gray plane
of sleeps
now fading emptiness
where mind
and body
though
still at rest
will soon enough
stir back to
life
as dawns
soft pale
rose light
will soon now
slowly
creep up
to rise
above this gently
waking
eastern gulfs
razor edged
horizon line
whereas
i too
then
in kind
as well
will likewise gently
reopen my
eyes
to fill with
new day suns
life giving
light
yet
once more
here again
in sync
along with
it
to more
consciously
more radiantly
arise
and shine
forth
and out
to all
the radiance
of its own
reawakened
highest
inner light
as well
