Title: Threading The Needle
Post by Jeepgun on Jan 14^th, 2005, 1:38pm

Threading The Needle

Slipping through the gate of my brow
on a breath sweet with the names of God.
Puncture, shatter, falling through the dome of
bluesky high and singing the song that
explodes to fill everyting of the world with
everything in my heart.
When i return if i return
i will not be the one i
was before my eyelids
closed and i began
falling
falling
falling
Azure velocity measured only
by a haphazard guess that flees from
me faster than i can say it.
The sea is a blue speck spreading
wider and sickening dread-dizzy flatter until
i am swollen and torn from i.
Stark terror slicing through my
guts ripped rupturing split open to
give birth to the new sea, the
flaming sky, ponderously creeping mountains,
impossible fathoms of a new i, and with a
sigh and smile, i open my
eyes and consider how very fine a
glass of water would be.

Thank you... This poem is about the inner work of contemplation and going within... Sometimes, it comes in a whisper, and other times, it's like the whole universe is splitting open... :)
