Descent No More...

Under the shroud of sleep 
Timeless moments 
Inner realms dispelling limitation 
All pervasive Being 
Above Earth's plains 
Beyond all mountains 
In flight across the heavens 
Held not by gravity 
Within the burning light 
That cannot be contained 
The shroud of sleep lifted 
And I awakened to time 
A vibrant peace 
An all sounding silence 
Knowing
I shall descent no more 
Into the lower realms 
Of deceptive thought.

~

all sound silence
all color light
all sensibilities peace
all life breath
all awareness rapture
all knowing truth
all truth beauty.

Chamber of the Night

I in the chamber of the night
under the shroud of sleep
timeless moments
inner realms dispelling limitation
all pervasive Being
above Earth's plains
beyond all mountains
in flight across the heavens
held not by gravity
within the burning light
that cannot be contained
the shroud of sleep lifted
and I awakened to time
a vibrant peace
an all sounding silence
knowing
I shall descent no more
into the lower realms
of deceptive thought.
