shadow grounds

i wish to speak of the all -

the kaleidoscope with which i play,
in which i swim -

this magnificent swirl, this endless color-mixing.

we are suspended over endlessness,
and out of the endless are we made.

inside us are flickers of the same light
;
have you forgotten how to feel the warmth?

these words are for you, oh trembling one,
you who often retreat to the rivers in escape from storms of the mind.

there is ground in the heart and on this patch of earth is the resting place of gods.
you may rest with them.
you may rise with them

.

in search, always -
have you forgotten what you have found?

eyes darting inward, afraid -
have you forgotten how to see?
