Where to next?

Where to next?
To love the world, the whole world,
Every inch and crevice
I abandoned, I skimmed over,
Now that I’ve returned.
I never loved the world before.
 
First I stood outside;
Now I stand within.
Feel the wind through every cell
And let it break you
With no barrier,
No wanting,  
Only moving, taking in.
No distance – now you’re in the middle
Spinning in
The center of the whirlwind,
Bearing the severance,
Forgetting rememberance,
Letting everything come and go.
In this whirlwind we don’t speak,
We don’t think, we don’t act,
We only dance. We only dance
Through every alley, weave a thread
Of gold until the whole wide world’s
Ensnared.
This state – no fear.
Death is ’round the corner
But we keep dancing here.
 
The desert sands are myriads of colors,
Melting, glistening, and dancing around you.
Nothing stays in place, it always moves,
In perfect coordination.
It is you, your mind’s creation,
A reflection.
Why to look within
When you can look without
And see all of yourself?
 
Every song becomes its fullness;
Words have disappeared.
Words are notes, and all is music,
Poetry, a flow.
 
I could talk about the details all forever;
Truly I don’t know
What land I’m walking in;
I don’t ask myself that, no.
