NOCTURNAL DESERTS PRIMAL MELTAGE  (7-16-89, Badlands area of the Anza Borrego Desert, Southern California)

   
out here      
alone      
in this desert      
moonlight      
i stand      
naked      
as a bone      
to the dry wind      
that comes      
occasionally      
to so sensuously      
embrace      
and mystically      
realign me      
into      
complete      
receptive harmony      
with      
the sweet      
primal mystery      
of this      
nocturnal deserts      
transformational night      
on out      
into      
the deeper      
more ineffable      
realms      
of that even      
greater mystery      
beyond      
where with each      
successive      
intermittent touch      
and carress      
of this      
magical deserts      
intimate breath      
i am lulled      
and pulled      
called and drawn      
ever more deeply      
ever more      
sweetly      
into the      
wide open heart      
of its      
magnificent      
transcendent      
song      
     
where      
more illumined      
now      
i stand here      
alone      
more finely attuned      
to the seen      
and unseen      
living elements      
higher frequency      
energies      
subtle and profound      
dancing and flowing      
so freely      
all around me      
into      
and through me      
as well      
as i quickly grow      
more keen      
to an audible drone      
now coming      
at me      
from everywhere      
the continuously ringing      
singing      
of one long      
low      
tingling tone      
the pure sound      
of      
one      
the sacred humming      
vibrational      
om m m m m m m m m m m m m      
of all creation      
of divine sources    
selfless      
all    
     
fully penetrated      
here      
consciously consumated      
filled fully      
yet beyond      
the immeasurable      
unlimited      
capacity      
of whatever      
so called brink      
or brim      
i no longer      
have      
nor in truth      
never really      
ever had  
nor am
in fact
at all
     
so deeply      
submerged here now      
in this soft      
luminous peace      
wherein i am
shamanically      
emptied      
refilled      
and cosmically      
recharged      
through this      
nocturnal desert nights      
transcendent release s      
mystical      
primal meltage      
a natural alchemy      
of sorts      
into this      
present sense      
of heightened knowing      
in my      
more widely      
opened awareness      
here      
     
where now
out here      
all alone      
in this      
desert moonlight      
i stand      
naked      
as a bone      
to the      
dry wind      
that comes      
and goes      
occasionally      
like some mysterious      
benevolent      
ghost      
to touch      
open  fill      
and remind me      
of all that      
it has here      
tonight      
as well as      
to help me      
both see      
and know      
that im really      
not ever      
truly      
alone      
niether here      
or in      
any      
other    
location    
state of mind  
dimension    
nor other  
life journey  
beyond    
this one  
im presently still
so patiently
imperfectly
yet consciously  
journeying through
and in   
here now
at least
as best
i can
