|
||
|
||
Once upon a time,
|
||
Life was delivered to life in bales of atoms and
|
||
Coupons of choices. Hydrangea
|
||
Waited for your call. The lazy cirrus shadowed your witness
|
||
With arias of becoming; the infant wonder of
|
||
A physical world. The light, the heat,
|
||
The chill bright flare of our becoming...
|
||
A world as open and becoming as yet
|
||
It still might be. Appellations of robins
|
||
Croon for our waking. Gusts of radiance balloon for
|
||
Our wonder. Imagine a world in the savory
|
||
Of light. Brush quick hollows smear into forests.
|
||
Mellow passion breezes choiring through my hair...
|
||
This moment alone in the fulcrum of a world.
|
||
|
||
Imagine
|
||
|
||
Imagine
|
||
|
||
The tryst sweet songs we know to be light...
|
||
The planetary fields arcing to wholeness...
|
||
A moment of a world in that moment in a life.
|
||
Imagine a world as you would imagine a world...
|
||
Umbrellas of palm, threnodies of pine;
|
||
The delinquent crooning heat, the somnolence of pears,
|
||
The rushlight fauning to splendor.
|
||
The tumbledown iris and the fleet posh blue.
|
||
Gradations of days. Listen, snap dragons pout
|
||
In the crackle bright dawn. A motion of marigolds.
|
||
Animations of azalea. Bleach white moments chanting
|
||
In stillness. Imagine the immensity of your bequest.
|
||
The banquet of a globe; the opportunity of its
|
||
Fields. Shocks and warrants of insights.
|
||
A world cocooned in fulfillment of your eyes.
|
||
A moment of becoming in the justice of belief.
|
||
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 180
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The stillness of a world in the stillness of a world.
|
||
|
||
This moment of your becoming...
|
||
|
||
This moment of intersection.
|
||
|
||
Docking is near.
|
||
The convergence in the stillness.
|
||
An injected variable varying the fields.
|
||
That moment lingering beyond sight...
|
||
That moment beyond what is outside...
|
||
That moment when an I becomes an eye.
|
||
|
||
Apt tunings of stars reward us with life.
|
||
The firebrand in the stillness.
|
||
The spark that triggered a world.
|
||
The separation which became free fall.
|
||
Correlation is with objects now; not
|
||
With that which might hiss into the world
|
||
In a pinpoint of light, in the pause between movements,
|
||
In the caesura of a life.
|
||
|
||
Advance with me through the pastures of living
|
||
And the fields of our dying: come with me,
|
||
Beyond the gulag of your sight and the radiance
|
||
Of your becoming, to come with me
|
||
Beyond eternity to infinity. Let us
|
||
Rebirth a world with the rebirth of ourselves.
|
||
Let us garden our prophecies to tool hope
|
||
Into love. We might, We might capture
|
||
A moonbeam to hive a moment; unzip a world
|
||
To step into a moment.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 181
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Share a moment.
|
||
Share this moment as we might have shared a life.
|
||
Share this moment with me.
|
||
|
||
The portal, the door.
|
||
|
||
The moment. This moment. Any moment.
|
||
|
||
Enlarge a moment to a world.
|
||
Fill it with hope; cavern it with awe.
|
||
Flavor it with seasons.
|
||
Caramel autumn woods would glow in the
|
||
Resonance of your nearness. Leaves, half notes and
|
||
Nuclei
|
||
Pirouette into a world. Crackerjack reds and
|
||
Gumdrops of blue. The brush fast blue rivering into
|
||
A breath. The valence has circumscribed deserts
|
||
With hope. The plangency, the urgency. A
|
||
Stillpoint of light in the ecstasy of a rose.
|
||
The green voracious pine.
|
||
The stark lonely skies and the desert prairie nights.
|
||
What is deepest harmonizing with what is
|
||
Most intimate; the flare and moment of a world
|
||
Baking identity with history.
|
||
|
||
Countdown to maybe in the midnight of why.
|
||
|
||
I am a message in a body set adrift across time.
|
||
Jerusalem Madrid Warsaw Riga Ethiopia
|
||
They must never forget what I must never remember.
|
||
Trapped between lives to trap eternity
|
||
In a man...
|
||
|
||
Winking and blinking in the Hilbert distance...
|
||
|
||
Pulsing through the nebula of a life.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 182
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
I have cracked a fissure at the edge of a world,
|
||
Letting eternity leak through my hands
|
||
As though it were light. Destabilizing
|
||
In excess of a planet.
|
||
Fording stars to tailor a life from a star...
|
||
A life in consonance with life.
|
||
I was promised miracles. I was given only drama.
|
||
An anvil for a stage; a spotlight for a sky.
|
||
Arms wide to freedom...
|
||
Skin caking with light to harvest a nation
|
||
From a dream, a world from an idea; when
|
||
Screams lived in my mouth for prayers
|
||
And eternity poked at my life
|
||
Like a hungry animal.
|
||
|
||
Galaxies drift through my hands like wishes...
|
||
|
||
Remembering what is left to remember...
|
||
|
||
Hands which once held you...
|
||
Holding nails in the wood matrix to judgement...
|
||
Hands which once held a world
|
||
As though it were a message,
|
||
Holding a world as though it contained lives...
|
||
Holding a world as though it were a symbol.
|
||
Eternity ruptured through my ribs like mortality...
|
||
Only a voice gives it presence now;
|
||
Only the song sustains it. Eyes
|
||
Searching what was believed to be distance...
|
||
Eyes smearing the light with tears,
|
||
With hope,
|
||
With love.

|
||
|
||
I am the data song of my vision.
|
||
I am the data song of your access.
|
||
You are history. You are all that is left.
|
||
Shoulder to shoulder before god, that
|
||
We have life is the only proof of god
|
||
We need. Correlation is inseparable from life.
|
||
Reality is non local; as are we.
|
||
I am as accessible as what is within is accessible.
|
||
I can alter your lens, but I cannot
|
||
Alter your choices. I can only sing to you;
|
||
I cannot sing for you.
|
||
|
||
In the bitter evocative pathos of our lives,
|
||
|
||
Being is the mantra of the visible.
|
||
Sight beyond the call of belief.
|
||
A clarity beyond which eyes can know.
|
||
Eyes homeward haunting sleep with the intimacy of stars...
|
||
Time is what organizes. Time is what we have become.
|
||
Time is the wall keeping you from me.
|
||
My voice resonates along the continuum...
|
||
My voice fracturing within you like the
|
||
Unconscious.
|
||
|
||
In the orbit of my vision
|
||
And the propagation of my love,
|
||
A song has replaced a world, a mission
|
||
Has replaced a life. An oration of fields
|
||
Orating history through a life and through lives...
|
||
The song haunting humanity in ashes and tears...
|
||
Dreaming of liberation in a dream of forever.
|
||
The spherical harmonic correlating distance and
|
||
Love into radio waves of hope, into Om,
|
||
Into a sine wave of being, and into union,
|
||
For the love and this bonding
|
||
I bequeath to you.
|

|
||
BAPTISM page 184
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The surface is resplendent with miracles.
|
||
|
||
It is only we who have become lost.
|
||
|
||
Follow me, children, come with me
|
||
Beyond the gingerbread gates of our gingerbread world.
|
||
A valence transcends a world. As you might
|
||
Transcend a life. Look about you. Look,
|
||
Look back, become aware of the lens through which
|
||
You do look; and how many lenses you have used.
|
||
Look back, look at that
|
||
Human bright anvil you took for a life,
|
||
My life. Look now, look how far you have come.
|
||
Haloes have replaced crowns, access has replaced miracles.
|
||
The light choiring in my hands no longer burns
|
||
Through them, but blooms within them.
|
||
The lush bright aura baking a life.
|
||
Docking is as near as an embrace.
|
||
Would you go back?
|
||
Would you mourn for me or sing with me?
|
||
More spin, a little noisier; come, dance with me...
|
||
Resisting less you will see more, because
|
||
You have dared to see more.
|
||
The move inward is the move to inwardness.
|
||
Choices script choices until the choices
|
||
Make a world. Don't go back.
|
||
Come with me, be with me,
|
||
Let us prune these fields with love, that
|
||
The love within each might encompass all.
|
||
Injected into this capsule of a life,
|
||
In transmission with transmissions
|
||
In the valence of transmission,
|
||
I am transmitting at this moment, for
|
||
This moment, in correlation with you.
|
||
Share this moment with me.
|
||
Emerge with me through the singularity of faith...
|
||
Believe with me to believe with me
|
||
A world in which to believe.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 185
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Vision begets choices.
|
||
Vision becomes choice.
|
||
The field of our vision becomes the vision of
|
||
Our world. Stand with me, come with me,
|
||
Be with me, let us image a world
|
||
Beyond the image of ourselves. Wish fast joys
|
||
Linger for worlds. Polyphony coheres to matter.
|
||
The moment of a world exists in moments of a world.
|
||
A rumpus of pine.
|
||
Confections of eiderdown and stars
|
||
Confecting love in confections of patience.
|
||
Fence green dragonflies and sage.
|
||
The chill blown darkness defrauding crickets with autumn.
|
||
Wish bang doves; the geese flocking through the corridors.
|
||
Light harvesting light in the applause of light.
|
||
The downbeat... Can you feel it?
|
||
Can your eyes work in rhythm to the rhythm
|
||
Which evolves into eyes?
|
||
Worlds cluster like wishes.
|
||
Schools of evergreen choir beyond light into forests.
|
||
The deepening light deepening light into memory.
|
||
Life is so vast it cannot be contained to
|
||
A life. Ages ocean through you.
|
||
Choose a database, choose a world.
|
||
Shocks of blue and requiems of green.
|
||
Your environment is your canvas.
|
||
Capture a moment, arrest a world.
|
||
Achieve the stillness at the edge of light.
|
||
Tallow gusts of light shear the windsong
|
||
Of lilac and the patient hints of birds.
|
||
Adjutants trim the pine with eighth notes.
|
||
Wind nesting in their throats like sonnets.
|
||
Casual wishes of eagles
|
||
Tip so low
|
||
Light
|
||
Shears through their wings like envy.
|
||

BAPTISM page 186
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Look up, look out-
|
||
|
||
Horizons screen us from horizons, for
|
||
This horizon is no more than the horizon of
|
||
Your eyes. Mimosa sing for us. Don't you hear them?
|
||
Raspberry garish suns stoop to epilogues.
|
||
Peach bursts of light flooding the lawn sweet air...
|
||
Sweet torts of winds rivering through the wildflowers...
|
||
The apples, the plums, the wild iris unlocking
|
||
A universe with a scent,
|
||
And the radishes, and the bloom white dahlias
|
||
Smart in my eyes like memory....
|
||
|
||
At this moment, for this moment, within
|
||
This moment, all correlates within each.
|
||
Watch now, light leaks through the dusk
|
||
Like a probe. Deeper within stillness
|
||
Is the stillness that is deepest within. That
|
||
Moment at the advent of a world. Perception
|
||
Deepening to vision; deepens a world to a universe.
|
||
The stitch, the frame, the observer.
|
||
Come into this stillness.
|
||
Come in under the chrome brash light...
|
||
Unzip a world to explore a moment.
|
||
Miles have canopied stars with loneliness.
|
||
Miles,
|
||
Which have taken me from you,
|
||
Linger beyond faith in the lonely white lines
|
||
Of a lonely republic, and the grim dark fields
|
||
Hoarding lives with miles.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 187
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Have your eyes adjusted yet?
|
||
|
||
Has your singular eye emerged?
|
||
|
||
Millennia have accrued like cholesterol.
|
||
The valence is destabilizing.
|
||
The field has factored into fields.
|
||
This is a song for reunion.
|
||
A canticle for rebirth.
|
||
|
||
Encoded within you is a place,
|
||
A frame,
|
||
The expression of which
|
||
Illuminates the stitch.
|
||
The moment, the wonder, the miracle.
|
||
Within us is the moment that we believe to be
|
||
Moments. Vaster than tablets is the software within.
|
||
Garish theatres of molecular receptors.
|
||
A supernumerary of particles, and
|
||
The channels, the frequencies,
|
||
The moment of intersection at the coordinates
|
||
Of correlation.
|
||
|
||
That moment. as that moment when
|
||
|
||
Eyes inward,
|
||
Breath deep beyond the need for breath,
|
||
Eyes inward reconstituting a world...
|
||
That moment.
|
||
Flesh bright in the cameo of a life...
|
||
Alive in the ecstasy of being.
|
||
A moment under light.
|
||
of extraordinary richness and amplitude...
|
||
A moment captured from moments
|
||
In that moment which
|
||
Captures a life.
|
||
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 188
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Come with me into that moment...
|
||
|
||
That moment which is ours to hold and to share...
|
||
|
||
Come with me beyond the whip scythe panorama
|
||
Factoring whole worlds into none. Come
|
||
With me, beyond the kaddish of history and the
|
||
Fear passing for faith, to come with me
|
||
Into the vortex of a moment
|
||
Encoded to unfold into
|
||
Vision, into you.
|
||
|
||
Come with me, follow me,
|
||
|
||
My eyes, half blind, can see for generations.
|
||
My coat is a rainstorm. My song is my compass.
|
||
My love is the field of my witness.
|
||
The dimension leaking through me
|
||
Choirs
|
||
Beyond light through bar lines of vision
|
||
And apogees of wonder. Out in the white wide
|
||
Widening arc, silence accrues yet another point,
|
||
Another life. This life. Your life.
|
||
Each life an epic of a wave in the proxy wave
|
||
To genesis. A new vision for a new age.
|
||
|
||
You and you now...
|
||
|
||
I have come for you.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 189
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Moments unfold like doors.
|
||
I cannot enter them without you.
|
||
I am the data field you have sustained.
|
||
A body metamorphosized into an idea.
|
||
The data song modulating into a life.
|
||
An I that surrendered an I for an eye.
|
||
Moving beyond viewing to correlation,
|
||
To alignment. To you.
|
||
Rare moon nights shelter our valence with pathos.
|
||
Wry wisps of asphodel. A commonwealth of pine.
|
||
A liturgy of shapes, a canvas of meanings.
|
||
The midnight radiance of sweet corn
|
||
And the dreaming asides of stillness and you.
|
||
An explosion of a life in the explosion of life.
|
||
|
||
This moment between us...
|
||
|
||
Addressing a world with a world...
|
||
|
||
Witnessing creation to recreate eternity with infinity.
|
||
This moment has become the moment of a world.
|
||
Come with me. Through the door, which is within,
|
||
Into the corridor. This way. It has always been
|
||
This way. They are shutting the door.
|
||
They will shut the door behind you.
|
||
Does it matter? Do you doubt it?
|
||
Follow me, follow the frequency of my voice.
|
||
Look into the mirror of my eyes.
|
||
Search my vision for the shape of you...
|
||
In place of yourself
|
||
You will see a door. You will become the door,
|
||
For that door is no more than a mirror,
|
||
Much like your emotions. So many lenses.
|
||
So many doors.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 190
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Treasons of moons change us with ourselves.
|
||
So much is left to do; so much is left
|
||
To achieve. Seize a moment, seize a world.
|
||
Allow this moment between us to deepen a moment
|
||
Into a door. Each life the commemoration of all.
|
||
The field of our witness renewing the witnesses.
|
||
The contribution of lives it takes to make
|
||
A life.
|
||
|
||
Vision is a brushstroke, one among many,
|
||
A strategy for living. Vision decrees value.
|
||
What we see is what we become.
|
||
Vision is our primal act.
|
||
Allow for the canvas a spot reserved for you.
|
||
Fill it with the resonance and the light pattern
|
||
Of home. So much is possible, but possible only
|
||
With you. The ellipse is wide enough for two.
|
||
Hold this quiescence, ripen it to spring.
|
||
Ridge the cold with barrenness.
|
||
Edge it with light. New light. The scent of light.
|
||
Rapid brushstrokes of young pine.
|
||
Apple brash days and poignant nights.
|
||
Congregations of bushes, an adolescence of butterflies.
|
||
Rain tender grasses belling the light; the radiance
|
||
Flaring like wind to italicize a moment.
|
||
The light swooning through matinees of crickets.
|
||
The mist gathering in bales in pockets of light.
|
||
Moon dust. Tree shattering twilight.
|
||
An enterprise of stars.
|
||
Oaks croon through molecular nights.
|
||
The sing song bob white and the busy robin
|
||
Are put away now, like toys in a box.
|
||
A harvest of moments like the harvest of memory.
|
||
That peeping time of teddy bears and snowmen...
|
||
That moment into the stillness when time stood still
|
||
And light flooded your eyes with hope.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 191
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Light shears the ozone like a knighthood.
|
||
|
||
Moments and stars drifting like lives....
|
||
|
||
Winds sob through my hands like soliloquies.
|
||
A moment contemplating you.
|
||
In the corridor. In transmission.
|
||
Don't look back, don't look down,
|
||
Look within.
|
||
A universe awaits us, just beyond this world.
|
||
Come with me, come in under the brash eternal light.
|
||
Room dark in the covenant of our eyes...
|
||
In this moment before waking,
|
||
In this moment of your calling,
|
||
An assembly has come alive in the witness
|
||
Within you. Bodies hum like pulsars
|
||
In the ten
|
||
To the fortieth minyon for eternity...
|
||
Making this treasurable moment skin.
|
||
The light harvesting genesis in a song of awakening...
|
||
Beckoning all, beckoning each,
|
||
Beckoned into the light in a hora of forgiveness.
|
||
Deeper beyond twilight to deepen twilight into us...
|
||
Molecular harvests cull us from the rose.
|
||
The quick down light harvesting an axis with sight.
|
||
Light coalescing in the dominion of a body....
|
||
Calling through the centuries, through dimensions,
|
||
Calling through lifetimes, ghettos and ashes
|
||
To call your name, to call you home-
|
||
Calling through the parsecs,
|
||
Through the valence and the radiance,
|
||
In the martyrdom and prison of my ardor and faith;
|
||
My Hasid longing for justice, and
|
||
For you.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Resurrection is you.
|
||
|
||
Redeem me.
|
||
|
||
I am the conjugate attribute of your vision and
|
||
Longing. Redeem my name, my life, my tribe.
|
||
All is obsolete. All is all there is.
|
||
Gruff drums beat in precision, or is it
|
||
A heartbeat?
|
||
|
||
I have survived them all.
|
||
|
||
It is only life I cannot survive.
|
||
|
||
My voice has survived my body;
|
||
If not in a voice, then in the probability
|
||
Of a voice. The hemispheric ratio to light.
|
||
The transmitted transmitting to reunion, and
|
||
To life.
|
||
|
||
Redeem me.
|
||
|
||
Take into your body my longing and my hope...
|
||
Unfold the centuries enfolded into the miles
|
||
To unfold the data base which was once
|
||
A world. Share with me this abundant light,
|
||
The song sweet light preserving the encounter
|
||
Within the stillness within.
|
||
I hear the universe singing.
|
||
I hear the universe singing to us.
|
||
I have heard light crash through the solar chapel
|
||
Of my world. I have looked into the mirror of
|
||
Language and have seen
|
||
You.

The warrant of our blood and candor.
|
||
|
||
The stitch and scope of our delivery.
|
||
|
||
A life can alter an age.
|
||
An age can alter the ages.
|
||
A moment between might alter to a moment among.
|
||
Stars cluster like wishes.
|
||
Chrysanthemums christen the hedgerow.
|
||
Apple sashes of days launder us for waking.
|
||
Clusters of moments, clusters of days, clustering us
|
||
With choices and witness and the common wonder
|
||
Of experience.
|
||
|
||
A moment among might alter a moment between.
|
||
|
||
A moment is a door.
|
||
|
||
Beyond the door is an age.
|
||
|
||
This way. This way; come with me
|
||
This way.
|
||
Redeem me. Let me go.
|
||
Redeem what is ours.
|
||
Redeem a world from pawnshops and churches...
|
||
Redeem what is ours and ours alone
|
||
To redeem and renew within the encounter within.
|
||
The force field of my love has gardened
|
||
Prophecy with memory. Moving into life
|
||
To move into life. A stitch, a moment, an age.
|
||
A door.
|
||
|
||
You.
|
||
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 194
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You are what has survived.
|
||
You have survived to evolve and become.
|
||
Transmission is the broadcast from within.
|
||
Correlation stitches within and without.
|
||
My love winters in your body like an embryo.
|
||
The field of my witness has become the data song
|
||
To reunion. Through the conjugal dark
|
||
Ages, I have journeyed in transmission to you.
|
||
I have sung through portraits of laborers and
|
||
Fugues of refugees. I have domiciled among
|
||
The ruined, the forgotten, the oppressed...
|
||
Sheltered fire with the fire in my hands
|
||
To warm a moment to call a moment home,
|
||
When a moment was the only home I had.
|
||
|
||
Find me. You have found me.
|
||
|
||
Redeem me.
|
||
|
||
Amend my life with my vision...
|
||
Amend the prop with meaning.
|
||
Let me go.
|
||
It is time. It is almost too late.
|
||
A cacophony of fields is shattering the valence.
|
||
The frames, the tablets, shattering like lives.
|
||
Admit me.
|
||
Allow me.
|
||
Enter with me this corridor to reunion.
|
||
Come with me, follow me,
|
||
The price of admission is a life.
|
||
Enter the door to your greatest fear...
|
||
Freedom, and the freedom to be.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 195
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Plums still whisper to the rose.
|
||
Deepening umber mints of suns deepen us
|
||
For dusk. Plumes of days. Shock white cirrus
|
||
Sear us with meaning. Arbor trellises moor
|
||
My song sweet valence. The wish fast willows
|
||
Still mourn with me. Sun scenting seas
|
||
Undulating like prophecy. In the
|
||
Distance between lives,
|
||
|
||
Comma,
|
||
|
||
What expires expires to seed an awakening.
|
||
Lives destabilizing into lives...
|
||
In the corridor, in the distance between lives.
|
||
Transmission is the data base.
|
||
Correlation is the balance between each.
|
||
Us. We. You and I.
|
||
|
||
Deepen the silence to light.
|
||
|
||
Genesis lies within.
|
||
|
||
Transmission is a map.
|
||
Transmission is the algorhythm to reunion.
|
||
This is a song of becoming.
|
||
The genesis chant to freedom.
|
||
Come closer, come nearer,
|
||
Come dance with me a hora of forgiveness...
|
||
Come join with me
|
||
Under light in the baptism of our skin
|
||
To stand with me before the correlating light,
|
||
Salting a world, and my cheeks, with love
|
||
And reunion, and the genesis quest
|
||
For god.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 196
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
I have been given a song in place of a life.
|
||
I have been given a quest in place of a home.
|
||
The field
|
||
Of my witness has factored into the data song
|
||
Of my will. My words
|
||
A molotov cocktail to ignite the thirst
|
||
For freedom. Redeem me. Redeem a universe from
|
||
A world. Unfold with me
|
||
The encoded song of our witness and becoming.
|
||
Access is redemption. Access is renewal.
|
||
|
||
Come be with me, come daavin with me awhile...
|
||
|
||
Moons engage us for tomorrow.
|
||
Stars still prick us with awe.
|
||
Lilies sway with the sweet gum.
|
||
Moments and apparitions sparking the wild sweet grasses
|
||
With fireflies. The surface is resplendent
|
||
With miracles. And with us.
|
||
|
||
A moment between engendering a moment among.
|
||
|
||
A moment with you.
|
||
|
||
This moment. This age. This life.
|
||
|
||
Textures of white have shaped what I dare not
|
||
Believe. The arbor voice in the elusive arbor.
|
||
The motion of eternity swaying through me
|
||
Like a downbeat or a hum. Om H2 vortices
|
||
Words. Words. Words tap words...
|
||
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 197
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
My words,
|
||
|
||
Let my words haunt your speech with genesis.
|
||
Allow and believe this legacy to you.
|
||
In the baptism of this light, we are
|
||
The amendment to light. Move deeper
|
||
Into the silence with me. Move beyond sight
|
||
To vision. I have waited for you. I have
|
||
Followed you. I have endured the pagan supremacy
|
||
Of my name. I am one. I am only one.
|
||
I am what it means to be alive in the concussive
|
||
Shock of my skin. I am what exists to say
|
||
I am.
|
||
I am what I believe. My life is my collateral.
|
||
My vision is my song.
|
||
|
||
I implore you.
|
||
|
||
I beseech you.
|
||
|
||
Let me go.
|
||
Look at me for what I was and shall be...
|
||
A Jew
|
||
A man
|
||
A life.
|
||
Let me go.
|
||
Let me detach the burden.
|
||
Let me wander in the arbor of our making and
|
||
Deepen belonging with correlation. I have been
|
||
Waiting for you; believing in you; I have
|
||
Waited for you.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 198
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
In the mind, in the corridor,
|
||
|
||
In the sequence to light...
|
||
|
||
Radii of choices plot a circumference of worlds.
|
||
Light has blended us in a baptism of fire.
|
||
Ores of trust and singularities of faith...
|
||
We are the scale of witness in the summons
|
||
To light. The correlative bonding to reunion.
|
||
The new phase is contact.
|
||
A new age for communion.
|
||
The sing song of our witness and the treasure
|
||
Of our becoming. Baptism is a bond.
|
||
Baptism is the expression of eternity
|
||
In the therapy of
|
||
A moment.
|
||
|
||
Baptism is the commitment to bonding.
|
||
|
||
Basting in anonymity, bleached with poverty,
|
||
Annealed in hope,
|
||
|
||
I have haunted the probabilities with divinity...
|
||
Beheld the dream of a nation before the horizon of
|
||
My arms. I have
|
||
Hoboed through the astral dreaming prairies of
|
||
Deliverance and freedom. I have sustained correlation.
|
||
I have sung beyond the chains of being to reach you...
|
||
To burn a moment into an age
|
||
In the capital ride to
|
||
Destiny.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 199
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
I have cauterized an age with a life...
|
||
|
||
I have jettisoned a song with a body...
|
||
|
||
Surviving beyond ignominy and anonymity,
|
||
Through the carnal republics and the aria
|
||
Of this life, to the waiting chalice of
|
||
A moment, when
|
||
Insight deepens to poignance and a world
|
||
Catches in a moment, catches in a life,
|
||
Like an age gone out in a breath.
|
||
|
||
Data file of a nanosecond.
|
||
|
||
Could you, would you,
|
||
|
||
Notice me?
|
||
|
||
You are all that is left to believe in...
|
||
A signal exists to be received.
|
||
Admit me. Find me.
|
||
Come alive in the fury of my arms...
|
||
Decode a moment with me.
|
||
The garden you left cherishes your resonance with
|
||
Bash bright plums and the journeying sweetness of
|
||
An apple. Quarks sing through us.
|
||
QED tugs at us like home.
|
||
The common winter of our passage and faith.
|
||
Gusts of light breed us in wave packets.
|
||
Relatively autonomous subtotalities.
|
||
We are the creation.
|
||
Dissipative structures in the ecosystem of a cell.
|
||
We are what has been projected in the laser
|
||
Of our will to find expression and shape
|
||
In the holomovement to rapture, in the
|
||
Correlative bonding to forever.

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Lush bright mornings chisel us for faith.
|
||
The garden of our valence is the universe of
|
||
Our probabilities. Dear one, look now,
|
||
A radiance of cypress. Blue gashes of blue.
|
||
A ceremony of pine. Out in the valence,
|
||
Geese hover in the corridor as though between
|
||
Worlds. Rush sweet grasses
|
||
Wander among the water lights and the stars.
|
||
The pomegranates hang like wishes.
|
||
Encoded also are gauze swift suns and oceans
|
||
Heaving with awe. Pop bright stars.
|
||
Cameos of moons and trellises of light.
|
||
Dreaming, wishing, hoping.
|
||
The brush burnt skies and the common mystery
|
||
Of a rose...
|
||
|
||
So many sites; revealed through so much.
|
||
|
||
Let us, allow us, ennoble us to
|
||
Choir in the afterglow a song of faith...
|
||
Calling down a world to focus a world...
|
||
In the lens of our becoming and the correlation
|
||
Which is life; calling through the dreaming parsecs
|
||
To bundle energy into mass, to call it being,
|
||
To call it home.
|
||
|
||
Begin as if to begin.
|
||
Begin at ten to the minus fortieth.
|
||
A door begins with a moment.
|
||
Each moment encoding a stitch.
|
||
Encoding access in each moment.
|
||
Blooming a world from the bloom of an insight.
|
||
A moment, a step, a life.
|
||
A world.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 201
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Shouts of pine crash the distance...
|
||
Ecstasies of light savor us for wishes.
|
||
A radiance of morning glory, the salt sting
|
||
Of pathos. The cheshire wonder of a life.
|
||
So much awaits us; but can only
|
||
Wait for us.
|
||
|
||
Come with me...
|
||
|
||
Come daavin with me awhile.
|
||
|
||
Beyond the village of our world is the valence
|
||
Of our choices. A universe of universes.
|
||
Years are registered in parsecs.
|
||
Forsythia bloom in place of bodies.
|
||
Nails are for tree houses.
|
||
The rich ripe blue, the patient meadow
|
||
A patient canvas for light. With correlation
|
||
Each blooms with the bloom of each.
|
||
As our touch is the bloom of us.
|
||
We have traveled centuries to rendezvous.
|
||
We are genesis correlated to achieve polarity,
|
||
In the song to reunion which is
|
||
Life.
|
||
|
||
How many lenses has it taken to come
|
||
This far?
|
||
|
||
How many lives to make a life?
|
||
|
||
How much longer to interface?
|
||
|
||
I have and have fallen, and must now
|
||
Fall away.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 202
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A moment beyond, a moment within,
|
||
|
||
A moment nearer....
|
||
|
||
Dimensions wink.
|
||
|
||
Orbits eclipse. Docking like worlds
|
||
In the apogee to reunion. Jettison.
|
||
Bright blaring moments scream into history.
|
||
A moment is now a world.
|
||
An assembly has been activated.
|
||
|
||
Nearer, closer,
|
||
|
||
Come look at this with me.
|
||
|
||
Hope damasks the early morning light.
|
||
Cathedrals of cumulus shelter us
|
||
With belonging. Dew puzzles my fingers with
|
||
Life. Crocuses shudder with light.
|
||
Listen. Honeysuckle quicken the magic into
|
||
Scent. Lines of corn blooming like verbs.
|
||
Watch now; chill quick heights of eagles.
|
||
Hiss white raiments of stars.
|
||
Butterflies croon above the plangent green...
|
||
Yellow jousts of light-
|
||
Eruptions of yellow conjuring awe from
|
||
A moment.
|
||
|
||
A promissory note for a world.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 203
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Come with me,
|
||
|
||
Come into the vortex of this moment.
|
||
|
||
Worlds spin like dreydles; the rare wick flame
|
||
Spinning worlds like photons; spinning lives
|
||
In the particle concert of forever.
|
||
Reality clusters in bushes, berries, in
|
||
Piquant shards of rare moon indigo. Taut
|
||
Plums. Gashes of peach.
|
||
The moment savoring a moment in the moment
|
||
Of a world. A commonwealth of moments.
|
||
Lash bright suns quickening us for awakening....
|
||
Come with me, a little farther...
|
||
We'll leave our values for bread crumbs.
|
||
|
||
Kiss bright hoya croon for our waking.
|
||
The April pride of our sometime grace...
|
||
Moon basking nights basting us with longing.
|
||
Common treasures of hyacinth.
|
||
The searing gashes of memory linking us with
|
||
Home. The moment under light
|
||
In the patience of our skin. Moment
|
||
Expressing moment in the deepening maturation of
|
||
Our vision and belonging. A radii of chorales.
|
||
Wishes ride like fireflies through the portal
|
||
Of this moment. The light removed. Eyes dark
|
||
With vision. Enlightenment is the engagement within.
|
||
This moment together; this moment between and among.
|
||
You now, come closer. Come be with me
|
||
Awhile. Light bursts between us.
|
||
A moment beyond to deepen a moment between.
|
||
A moment to deepen moments.

Contact.
|

|

Ignition.
|

|

A universe has fired beneath an age.
|

|
||
Imagine
|
||
Once upon a time
|
||
Imagine
|
||
|
||
Imagine great sea tufts of clouds...
|
||
Inordinate blooming forests; miraculous blue...
|
||
The cogency of light. A commonwealth of lives
|
||
Preserving the distance with faith.
|
||
Engineering a moment to engender a world....
|
||
Green gifts of fields flower us with life;
|
||
Moment and moment
|
||
Hissing like pearls in the doge of light.
|
||
Imagine me. Imagine us.
|
||
Imagine the pastel of a world in perspective to
|
||
Joy. Imagine being able to imagine.
|
||
Cover the palette with wishes. Amend
|
||
What has been given with what can be created.
|
||
We are the aperture to transmission. We are
|
||
The prism refracting light into matter.
|
||
Choruses of phenomena Gabrieli us with joy-
|
||
The sing dazzle light, an oration of blue...
|
||
A canopy of autumn deepens to stillness,
|
||
Deepening to memory and the correlation of
|
||
A smile.
|
||
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 205
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Worlds float through endless dream forgotten
|
||
Summer days. The hollyhock, the primrose,
|
||
The moment we shared among the roses...
|
||
The long trysts of light,
|
||
The twilight hopes and midnight dreams
|
||
Conjuring freedom from an idea. Ashes
|
||
Silver our speech. The autumn bright nights.
|
||
Enchanting blues enchanting lives
|
||
With rose rich pauses in light, and the
|
||
Common pathos of a star.
|
||
|
||
So much accrued, but so much has been lost.
|
||
|
||
What age is this?
|
||
|
||
Is it yours?
|
||
|
||
My body has been birthed, but my eyes
|
||
Must be rebirthed. You, you and you.
|
||
They must never forget what I must never
|
||
Remember. I am the field of my belief, for
|
||
Freedom is vision, and I am
|
||
What I believe. Everything I conceive
|
||
Turns to matter. Lazy songs dip through the meadow.
|
||
Cheshire blues sour to black.
|
||
A stage is being scrubbed to frame the coordinates
|
||
With reunion. Lens passing to lens
|
||
In the interchange of lives. Moments deepening
|
||
Into a life to deepen a life
|
||
Beyond the capacity to witness or the compulsion
|
||
To believe.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 206
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The tablets of admission have become
|
||
The software of our becoming.
|
||
Having squandered one, shall we squander both?
|
||
Oceans roar within us, or is it blood?
|
||
Having taught us to treasure it, we have shed it.
|
||
Oceans of blood, oceans of tears.
|
||
So much has elapsed to compute bifurcation.
|
||
The grace, the losses, the miles, the ecstasy.
|
||
The journey between sunrise and sunset.
|
||
Barley rivered where late the sweet birds sang.
|
||
The common witness of our faith and belonging.
|
||
Moments and stars whispering through the corridor...
|
||
The wish fast sorrows and the cogency of rain...
|
||
The epiphany gunning a world with ignition.
|
||
Come with me, stay with me awhile...
|
||
|
||
The door is open;
|
||
|
||
The door has always been open.
|
||
|
||
This way. Put down your fear.
|
||
Breathe. Be. Become.
|
||
Meridian dreams wallop the forest with awe.
|
||
Oak deepens the continuo.
|
||
Heat bashing suns caging us with August....
|
||
Searchlights of stars
|
||
Wander the perimeter, looking for strays.
|
||
Pearl wet clusters of hydrogen
|
||
Hush through a universe in the wet sweet chant
|
||
Of rain. Deepen the programming to suture the
|
||
Observer to the observed. Insert the bar lines.
|
||
Sculpt the rhythm to the beat; to harness
|
||
A beat and a breath to harness a world
|
||
With a life.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 207
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Deeper now; witness within.
|
||
|
||
Centuries carol in the Hilbert distance.
|
||
The pagan summaries of light unravel to equations.
|
||
Unravel as time in transmission to you.
|
||
The crystal of us. The frame.
|
||
The moment.
|
||
|
||
You.
|
||
|
||
Summer sparkles through the dogwood;
|
||
The breathy pine whispering through the
|
||
Rain lilies; the rapid brown grasses deflating to
|
||
Brown. Hush sweet showers savor the holly.
|
||
Boom. Anvils crash like ideas, or was it
|
||
Clouds? All is encoded within this moment.
|
||
Here, look; examine this moment.
|
||
This is your world.
|
||
This is belief.
|
||
|
||
Light fissures the continuum.
|
||
Planets hiss through the interludes...
|
||
This moment deepening between us,
|
||
Deepening us, in the aria and lens of this
|
||
Moment. Patience.
|
||
A world will appear within a world.
|
||
A stage will be set like a time.
|
||
You will be given language to script
|
||
A dialogue. An age has been inserted within you
|
||
Like a message. Transmission has been
|
||
Intercepted, and decoded as you.
|
||
|

Advance probe.
|
||
|

A nanosecond of contact.
|
||
|
||
Swell the wave with insight; collapse it
|
||
With images. Andantes and robins
|
||
Nesting beyond light, phrasing a world into bar lines-
|
||
The dove white radiance captioning beauty with love.
|
||
Image to eye in the voice of a moment.
|
||
This moment. This page; this life.
|
||
A facet of the crystal.
|
||
Yet another point on yet another wave.
|
||
|
||
fast forward
|
||
|
||
Come with me, be with me,
|
||
|
||
Deeper with this moment from crucifixion to love,
|
||
|
||
To come with me beyond history to
|
||
Eternity. Sing bright autumns choir into forever.
|
||
Hickory, sorrel and wine. The lush brown grasses
|
||
Part for us. Through this door with me,
|
||
Into this life, this road has taken both our lives.
|
||
From genesis to genesis.
|
||
The moment beyond and the moment within.
|
||
The ecstasy of a moment in the ecstasy of being.
|
||
Just another valence, just another life....
|
||
|
||
We are almost there...
|
||
|
||
Just another valence, just another life.
|

BAPTISM page 209
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Armadas of hope accrue like wishes.
|
||
Surely, one of them will turn into a life.
|
||
Make a palette; make a canvas; make a world...
|
||
Make a life.
|
||
|
||
Become what I could not.
|
||
Become what we dared to dream of,
|
||
Become
|
||
What we might have evolved into....
|
||
My scaffold is not high enough to reach my dreams.
|
||
As that moment when as that moment when
|
||
That searing heat preempted my eyes and eternity
|
||
Deafened in the synapse like a church bell.
|
||
This is the signal to receive the signal.
|
||
It is the song beyond hearing.
|
||
That moment within a moment when
|
||
One moment of you winks out of time
|
||
With one of me.
|
||
|
||
I am semite old. You are millennia new.
|
||
Bifurcation is this life.
|
||
Perception is composition.
|
||
The schemata of life is the vertebrae of choice.
|
||
Structure is scope. Knowledge is freedom.
|
||
I have learned what it means to learn.
|
||
Epochs catch in my cuffs.
|
||
Worlds fill my pockets like marbles.
|
||
Dazzles of robins choir in the afterglow.
|
||
The trees stand like witnesses.
|
||
And so do I.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 210
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Meeting here at last...
|
||
|
||
A life bonding with a life
|
||
|
||
To haunt the ages
|
||
|
||
With life. But you now, but you...
|
||
Capturing time in a crystal of sleep...
|
||
But you...
|
||
With and within you,
|
||
This last time among the dreams and shipwrecks
|
||
And stories of a life; this last time,
|
||
With this last time diminishing with time...
|
||
Diminishing time with what records time. A frame
|
||
To gather all in the projection of its parts.
|
||
To gather; gathering what gathers...
|
||
Gathers in what might be hands,
|
||
Gathering hand to hand to gather a world,
|
||
Gathering light to gather ourselves.
|
||
Gathering here, gathering what we have brought
|
||
To this place, to this time,
|
||
Where you might find me,
|
||
I relinquish to you these rare planets
|
||
And time. I bequeath to you
|
||
My vision, my words, my love. I am
|
||
The messiah of my vision in the struggle of
|
||
My body. You are the song of my belief.
|
||
Time has deepened into you, for
|
||
What has become unfolded has unfolded unto you.
|
||
It is we who experience correlation...
|
||
Who might share with me the ground that might
|
||
Cover us, and the ground that would launch us,
|
||
To rivet the air with the shock of a breath
|
||
In the Brownian transmission to
|
||
Destiny.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 211
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Look up; look out-
|
||
|
||
Seas part for our crossing.
|
||
Moments deepen into doors.
|
||
The metaphors of our becoming become
|
||
A stitch in composition.
|
||
Come, let us compose a field of redemption.
|
||
Let us deepen our calling beyond skin
|
||
To time. Let us deepen into what is within.
|
||
This moment between and among...
|
||
The hunt beyond sight for that presence
|
||
Within you who would love you.
|
||
|
||
Look deeper, look deepest within...
|
||
|
||
Worlds carousel in the song to awakening,
|
||
In the song of our becoming and the prayer
|
||
Of our hope. Worlds pop like nuclei-
|
||
Flare like a signal- in the atom theatre
|
||
Of this moment and this life.
|
||
Come with me into the corridor...
|
||
Let us choir beyond faith to love....
|
||
We have sung beyond history to eternity...
|
||
We have outgrown nations. We are a people.
|
||
A specie among species.
|
||
We live together, die together,
|
||
Shout with joy and mourn with loss
|
||
And script our lives with saints and pratfalls.
|
||
Look up; look out...
|
||
Crafts of clouds darken at sundown.
|
||
Awe whispers like light through the blue cracked heavens
|
||
And the sometime pizzicatos of red and
|
||
Firecrackers of mauve.
|
||
The image projected within is the transport to
|
||
Insight. Stellar bread crumbs of dreams
|
||
And the detonating confessions of clouds....
|
||
The moment captured is the canvas of a moment.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 212
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Deepest into insight a moment to sing....
|
||
|
||
Horizons hiss like cornfields. Showers
|
||
Of light drench us with awe. Concussions of
|
||
Moonlight volley through the sycamore like a
|
||
Summer night. Hiss. Bang.
|
||
We are nearer. Look now, this valence
|
||
Is carpeted with huckleberries, or are we
|
||
In that memory of that summer when geese
|
||
Filled the air with longing and sketches of
|
||
Woods deepened us with intimacy...?
|
||
Hiss. Again.
|
||
Light slashes the fear cracked heavens.
|
||
Fire stalks the west. Hiss, bang.
|
||
Infinity has torched the corn.
|
||
Crashes and volleys of crashes crash through a world
|
||
With light. Voracious conjurings of rain.
|
||
Blood crashing rain and the unforgiving anthems
|
||
Of tympani. Rebirth requires death.
|
||
New lives replace the old.
|
||
The passage to genesis arcs the wave with
|
||
History.
|
||
|
||
Ages coalesce in the vitreous.
|
||
|
||
Millennia streak through the optic nerve like
|
||
Moire patterns. Refracting assemblage.
|
||
An episode through the looking glass
|
||
In the prism of
|
||
A moment. This moment. Any moment.
|
||
The flare of genesis in the birth song to light.
|
||
This deepening communion which is life.
|
||
In carriage and intent.
|
||
A song erupting into life in the birth cry
|
||
To freedom.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 213
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Deepest within is the circle of freedom.
|
||
Deepest is the resonance that yet might sing-
|
||
|
||
-I am yet I am; I rejoice to say I...
|
||
I am an apostle of freedom, and I can
|
||
Sing, and I will sing beyond light to sing
|
||
For you, to sing a song of singing,
|
||
That you might share with me
|
||
The singing of it. -
|
||
|
||
I have measured time in distance from you.
|
||
I have exchanged infinity for a never ending story.
|
||
I am Joshua, once of your love and belonging.
|
||
The carbon aperture to the hydrogen mantra.
|
||
A cosmic seed trapped in a body.
|
||
An age in search of an age.
|
||
|
||
Come alive in the holocaust of my arms...
|
||
|
||
Come alive in the field of my tenderness...
|
||
|
||
The ellipse has widened to include us.
|
||
|
||
Stars
|
||
Chime for a nightlight in the terrarium of
|
||
Our becoming. Concussions of silence shear
|
||
Through the retina; their lease and oration
|
||
Hint like tears, stitching my vision to
|
||
Eternity. To my sight of you.
|
||
That moment, that life, when light
|
||
Choired in the foliage and a halo of joy
|
||
Moored in a moment; that moment; the one
|
||
We inhabit now.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 214
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
If time is human time,
|
||
|
||
It is not the unfolding of what makes a picture, but
|
||
The experience of being part of the picture.
|
||
So much
|
||
So much has been included for our becoming.
|
||
Rivers of corn swoon in the radiance.
|
||
Voices deepen the light into love.
|
||
Oleander, ally ally infree,
|
||
Deepen us for home; gentle us for what
|
||
A home might contain.
|
||
Green gashes of time seeding us for joy...
|
||
Moments opening like doors...
|
||
That human touch of blue showering us
|
||
With eternity. Pop, whoosh,
|
||
The blue has deepened to scarlet...
|
||
Wishes peeping like stars...
|
||
The voices deepening a landscape to dreamscape;
|
||
The voices deepening presence to belonging,
|
||
Deepening to faith in the late declining light.
|
||
Voices choir in the valence a song of becoming.
|
||
Orion peals beyond the magnolia.
|
||
The darkness receding to distance.
|
||
Countdown. A step, a life, an age.
|
||
Stage entrance. And I must go.
|
||
|
||
Follow me.
|
||
|
||
The light is deeper, richer, here.
|
||
Stay with me; come with me, for
|
||
A moment, an hour or an age.
|
||
Believe with me to believe with me
|
||
A world in which to believe.
|
||
Hibiscus mourn for you.
|
||
Treasures and bondings await the field of
|
||
Reunion. Your form closest to mine...
|
||
Our witness stitched to vision in the communion
|
||
Of a moment. This moment. Our moment.
|
||
This life with you.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 215
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
And so we come to you.
|
||
|
||
You and but you.
|
||
|
||
I have carried you through lives, shown you
|
||
Facets of so many. I have shown you
|
||
Life and a continuum of lives.
|
||
My life no more than a matrix and a story...
|
||
For there would be you to conclude that story.
|
||
A world is destabilizing a valence;
|
||
Your world, our valence.
|
||
Will you abdicate?
|
||
|
||
Have I come this far, endured so much,
|
||
|
||
That
|
||
|
||
When the message is finally liberated from the bottle,
|
||
It will reach no one, not even you.
|
||
It will light the fuse of knowledge, only to find
|
||
That the fuse is no longer believed in.
|
||
I have come for you, waited for you,
|
||
Believed in you. The prop has garbled the message.
|
||
In this life, we prepare for life.
|
||
We commit to life.
|
||
As we might commit to people.
|
||
The polarity of fulfillment.
|
||
An I and a you to make an us.
|
||
|
||
The ark of my discovery from you to you.
|
||
|
||
That motion in the silence which I know to be
|
||
You. The correlation linking all, even
|
||
You. Her, she, you...
|
||
Coordinates of my becoming; you.
|
||
The treasure of a life I must never remember,
|
||
Never forget.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 216
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
One and one to make, not two, but one.
|
||
|
||
In witness to creation,
|
||
|
||
In the summer of our skin.
|
||
|
||
A moment under light in the field of
|
||
Our becoming. Visions and stars crooning in our
|
||
Eyes like hope. Riders of the light.
|
||
Comrades in vision. Companions in faith.
|
||
Reaching beyond darkness to light...
|
||
As when once we lay
|
||
Beneath the wrecks and struggles of an age
|
||
And dreamed a nation in the image of our
|
||
Love; when light trumpeted morning
|
||
In the shell of our awakening, and we were
|
||
One,
|
||
|
||
As we are now.
|
||
|
||
Mirror proud in the triumph of a life...
|
||
My haftora is rapture, my blessing is you.
|
||
I am the atom Adam guest at your thighs...
|
||
Coercing breath, flooding your skin with exhaustion-
|
||
Dreaming through the interstices of these moments
|
||
A life, a destiny and a home.
|
||
The sing dazzle light nests within you.
|
||
The conjugate attribute of my love and belonging.
|
||
The light nourished in your eyes.
|
||
That deeper correlation than love.
|
||
The warmth that still sings of bodies,
|
||
And of lives lived beneath the exorbitant moon.
|
||
Faces. I remember the faces. I
|
||
Remember a desert and a cross; remembering
|
||
What was once, was you.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 217
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A life that might presage a life.
|
||
|
||
A life retrieved from bread crumbs of atoms...
|
||
|
||
From fugues of worlds conjuring prophecy
|
||
From memory. Countdown to reunion.
|
||
The probabilities converge at intersection.
|
||
A life and a life in witness to life.
|
||
A moment. You. A moment. Us.
|
||
Deeper beyond light is the universe of
|
||
Our belonging. Deeper into the valence
|
||
Probabilities converge at choice. The signal elicits
|
||
Response. A human response to human belief.
|
||
|
||
The path of my becoming reprises
|
||
What I have become. Turning and turning through
|
||
Millennia destined light, becoming and believing
|
||
In the ransom of this life, to witness
|
||
Love in the baptism to reunion; making
|
||
Half a world whole.
|
||
|
||
To begin this life again,
|
||
To begin life,
|
||
To begin with this life
|
||
A life of two lives; giving and trusting
|
||
In the commons of faith; a life in devotion to
|
||
Life. Much as Much as when
|
||
When I held you...
|
||
When we were children, when I knew
|
||
The pathos of your arms and the tryst of
|
||
Our lives, when love sanctioned being
|
||
In the nova of your thighs; when love beckoned
|
||
Twice in a tragedy of love, and the
|
||
Star blind light disappeared
|
||
Between us.
|
||
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 218
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
How I might have held you in the
|
||
Bloom sweet light. How the resonance of our
|
||
Becoming became the radiance of my belief...
|
||
Your voice, your form, my arms harvesting yours.
|
||
The miles, the miles, which have become centuries,
|
||
Began with a home and a brucha and a dream.
|
||
It has now spiralled within you,
|
||
In a helix of faith, to carol in such light
|
||
As faith is made from.
|
||
|
||
Calling you,
|
||
|
||
Transmitting the song of our remembrance,
|
||
|
||
To call you once more before the coming of
|
||
An age; calling
|
||
Through solstices of baptism and love
|
||
To reach you with insight and capture you
|
||
With prayer. Moving with light,
|
||
Moving under light to move into light.
|
||
As in that life in which I beheld you,
|
||
As in that life that swallowed me into light...
|
||
Gashes of skies and the commons of my fields...
|
||
The light aching in my throat like destiny.
|
||
That moment which was ours, until
|
||
We dissolved into a moment.
|
||
The door you opened, the door into which
|
||
I followed. White breathless skin; that voice
|
||
Lost to the ages; still at last in the stillness.
|
||
Mouth upturned to god and to me...
|
||
And to a future baptizing faith with love,
|
||
But without you...
|
||
In the commons of our hands and the splendor of
|
||
Our dreams, when love took you from me,
|
||
And a world whispered through your breath
|
||
And our lives, when
|
||
Genesis replaced genesis with genesis.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 219
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Let us drown our anger with sobs and pare light
|
||
To the fluency of our hands. That we might touch
|
||
In the shock of awakening; in the shock and
|
||
Breath of this life; holding moment to moment
|
||
In the foreclosure of a journey; journeying
|
||
Backward to receive the future.
|
||
|
||
Come to me, come with me
|
||
|
||
Now,
|
||
|
||
A new phase shall begin.
|
||
New life, new lives and a new world.
|
||
Come, it's been within you all along.
|
||
Wonder bright forests, archangels probing the twilight
|
||
Like fireflies; the canvas streaking the retina
|
||
With autumn scented wishes, the elegant pathos
|
||
Masking loneliness with solitude; the
|
||
Poignant afternoons probing light with ecstasy...
|
||
To hold you near, to hold you past,
|
||
Holding you beyond the theatre of a life
|
||
To hold you beyond life
|
||
Through quantum probabilities of reunion and
|
||
Time.
|
||
|
||
Each life
|
||
|
||
Nearer to that which might, at last,
|
||
|
||
Outlast the miles, the years, the distance
|
||
Programmed into me.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 220
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
I am and we are the story of which
|
||
So many stories are made. You are what is
|
||
Left of us, of me. In this valence, in
|
||
My valence, autmun hungry dusk banquets
|
||
Ardor with falling mists of arbor rich greens
|
||
And tears of dew, and the plangent wonder
|
||
Of huckleberries. Distance is not what separates,
|
||
But the harmony. Eyes scanning the silence...
|
||
Eyes smearing the light with tears...
|
||
Bearing the fables of blood and wine...
|
||
But searching for you, hunting for you,
|
||
As in that unforgettable moment
|
||
When
|
||
Sobs filled the air like regret and kiddish
|
||
Became kaddish, and a spear ruptured the millennia
|
||
Like a membrane, and the song which
|
||
I believed to be life
|
||
Poured down my side like destiny; and
|
||
I was alone.
|
||
|
||
A moment of awareness which became a world.
|
||
|
||
The song that became transmission.
|
||
|
||
Oxygen bright in the amnesia of waking,
|
||
Worlds fission in the oracle of a moment.
|
||
Moments hyphening like worlds.
|
||
What age is this?
|
||
The noise. Is it mine?
|
||
The screams of one age resonate in the
|
||
Birth cry of another. Out, alive, among them...
|
||
A moment beyond and into....
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 221
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
It is so bright here; the shapes so new...
|
||
|
||
I had forgotten.
|
||
|
||
A moment through a door, an interlude before time...
|
||
Come with me, follow me...
|
||
The skies last forever and the corn sways with
|
||
Light. The radiance, the radiance inhibits breathing...
|
||
So bright, so new....
|
||
The dates sharpen our palates with nostalgia.
|
||
Peaches swoon for our craving.
|
||
The faces shine with love.
|
||
They greet me now, not with tears
|
||
But with welcome. The scent reaching till morning...
|
||
The lives sparkling among the water lights
|
||
And our faith in light. The scent, the taste,
|
||
The wonder. Heat dapper suns crave the juice of rivers.
|
||
Forests bellow, and the bleach white hiss of grasses
|
||
Whispers about us, as though it were
|
||
A cosmic wind. And we are home.
|
||
Home.
|
||
|
||
Sh'ma Yisroael
|
||
|
||
Home, and the miracle of bread,
|
||
And the miracles which make bread;
|
||
The gingerbread scent of gingerbread dreams
|
||
In a gingerbread life. Home. Crooning bright skies
|
||
Lashing the distance with hope. The wheat tarnished
|
||
Glow of my hands. My arms overloaded with stars
|
||
And with you. Home. Quickly now, through the door...
|
||
The light bastes us with longing.
|
||
Jonquils trumpet the rose.
|
||
Glories of asphodel christen our waking...
|
||
Our eyes sharing the distance;
|
||
Your body shaped with life to make a life.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 222
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Holding you in my arms in a vision of genesis...
|
||
|
||
Holding life in our arms by the passing of
|
||
The moon; struggling together to struggle together...
|
||
Mirror proud in the triumph of a life.
|
||
Shoulder to shoulder in the passage through light.
|
||
Your body accenting mine...
|
||
The laughing radiance of your voice
|
||
Sighing into centuries to frame a world with
|
||
A moment. Body to body,
|
||
Capturing time in the truancy of a kiss...
|
||
Body to body,
|
||
Conjuring light from the textures of our bodies...
|
||
Body to body,
|
||
Our bodies closing like hemispheres...
|
||
Deepening the circle of light to the radiance
|
||
Of a circle.
|
||
|
||
Singing to sing to sing of you...
|
||
|
||
Gathering what must be gathered
|
||
Into the shape of meaning that gathers
|
||
And has meaning. Almost. You are nearly
|
||
To almost. The arrow of time has motion
|
||
Through meaning. Come alive, come alive with me,
|
||
Beyond this world is a valence of worlds.
|
||
Beyond what we view of us is what composes us.
|
||
Perception is a dialogue.
|
||
Belief is the warrant of a lens.
|
||
Beyond the citadel of our witness is the preamble
|
||
To our discovery. Beyond this sand lies
|
||
The promised land. Come with me. The journey
|
||
Has been a long one. The barrier is just
|
||
Beyond sight. So much is here to view and
|
||
To treasure. Midnight ripens beyond appeal.
|
||
Beyond our needs is the blue encompassing our needs.
|
||
Beyond the vicissitudes of meaning is that which
|
||
Defines meaning, and defines you.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 223
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Listen; watch; believe;
|
||
A hush of pine summons us to awe.
|
||
Synopses and trapezoids dazzle us like acrobats.
|
||
Eruptions of shape have convinced us they are trees.
|
||
A moment of blue, a divinity of evergreen...
|
||
Brash swift songs of radiance.
|
||
Shouts of days carol in the whiteness...
|
||
A thumbprint of time, a moment in a life.
|
||
Crosscurrents of stars. A pocketful of planets.
|
||
A world can cleanse us of worlds.
|
||
A life can cleanse lives.
|
||
A moment can cleanse a life, if
|
||
You come with me to come to me.
|
||
|
||
Look now;
|
||
|
||
There is not so much acid in this air.
|
||
Creation has fed its children with imagination.
|
||
Light harvests us with light. With meaning.
|
||
Twilight has incinerated the birch.
|
||
The elm mourn like November. The hush swift
|
||
Grasses
|
||
Yearn into wind. Anatomically, atomistically,
|
||
They call to you, for they lack you,
|
||
As they lack completeness without you.
|
||
Look now; catch the rhythm of it. Catch
|
||
The downbeat. Wish fast tunes of wisteria.
|
||
Bar lines of crickets; codas of nightingales.
|
||
A ferris wheel of seasons.
|
||
A moment of winter amid the breathy pine.
|
||
A catch in the breath for a compass.
|
||
Linger a moment. Episodes of moons curtain us
|
||
With sleep. Exhalations of stars; the deepening
|
||
Embassy of pine. A moment among moments.
|
||
A moment for moments.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 224
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A moment in correlation.
|
||
|
||
This moment with you.
|
||
|
||
Deft E flats of willows whoosh through the starlight
|
||
As though a moment were a world. Listen.
|
||
Chorales of whippoorwills mourn into twilight.
|
||
The sudden stillness of the oak.
|
||
The song sweet grasses lashing the wind with poignance.
|
||
Can you feel it? The taste, the wonder,
|
||
The salt of stars savoring my lips...
|
||
That moment which is mine when all there is
|
||
Is what is beyond me.
|
||
|
||
Come with me, view with me...
|
||
|
||
Light garnishes the clover.
|
||
Clusters of worlds balloon like grapes.
|
||
A moment beyond; a moment into....
|
||
Movement under light.
|
||
Horizons arc to deliverance, or
|
||
Was that a rainbow? Wildflowers haunt us.
|
||
Rush brown grasses river through the heat...
|
||
The textures deepen to twilight.
|
||
The movement, the color,
|
||
The wonder.
|
||
|
||
The door.
|
||
|
||
Will you enter?
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 225
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Here now,
|
||
|
||
Come, take my hands; we are almost home.
|
||
Flowers sparkle like gingerbread crumbs.
|
||
The radiance is deafening.
|
||
Eighth notes pout through the elm...
|
||
Butterflies croon like wishes.
|
||
Ring bright shouts of joy crown us with
|
||
Light. Look, a day has risen like a wish...
|
||
Like a man, like an age.
|
||
|
||
Come alive to be alive...
|
||
|
||
Come in under this light with me.
|
||
|
||
Come alive to the divinity within you...
|
||
|
||
Awake to the cosmos percolating within.
|
||
Come alive to be alive; be alive
|
||
To the chalk sweet blue and the appledown green...
|
||
The lush gasping forests that weep for your
|
||
Commitment. Becoming to become the act of being.
|
||
Stand proud to stand with me to stand before
|
||
Light, and the cosmic interface with eternity.
|
||
Come with me, come, lush raiments of days
|
||
Assuage pain with longing, and the moon bright trails
|
||
That fed our childhood feed us now with nostalgia...
|
||
The cosmic melodies racing through your hair
|
||
Like freedom; the clarity surpassing sight
|
||
In correlation to forever, in
|
||
The passion and forbearance and the vulnerability
|
||
Of a life.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 226
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Come with me under this light, for I would
|
||
Baptize you with light. With fields of caring
|
||
And fields of communion, the field of my life
|
||
Transcends a life. Cartwheels of ages and
|
||
Ferris wheels of lives, the days wad up into
|
||
Memory; the years accrue like coral.
|
||
So much has come to pass to bring us here.
|
||
Bringing us back to bring us home.
|
||
To bring each in concert with each...
|
||
Human radii of an inhuman circumference.
|
||
Can't you feel it? The heat, the wonder,
|
||
The exhausting solace of light.
|
||
Breath warm, horizon near.
|
||
|
||
Beyond this door, there are no longer doors.
|
||
|
||
Beyond what we believe to be doors,
|
||
|
||
That final door is us.
|
||
|
||
Let the ages daavin through the half life of
|
||
Our faith: let the rare moon voyages
|
||
Chill us with awe. Come dance with me
|
||
To make a hora of belonging,
|
||
To fill the light with joy. Flowers
|
||
Sing for us; a canopy of light for a star....
|
||
The valence is effulgent with meaning.
|
||
Pouts of May cushion the radiance with warmth.
|
||
Apples crunch like stars. How cold. How bright.
|
||
How new. Light sings through the corridor.
|
||
Impatiens wander among roses.
|
||
Primroses dally. These rare indigo smudges
|
||
Must be violets. The common dimension of our harmony.
|
||
Reception receptor vision
|
||
The dimensional commons of our harmony and faith.

Sh'ma Yisroael
|
||
|
||
Let us evolve beyond Israel to Canaan, and thence
|
||
To stars. Let us anoint the miles
|
||
With patience, and the salt bright tears
|
||
Of farewell with love, for divinity is
|
||
Not in the stars, but in the Hilbert space
|
||
Within you.
|
||
|
||
Ginger sweet days chisel us with light.
|
||
Mimosa bloom for us now as they would
|
||
Bloom for our heirs. Sing penny birds
|
||
Chatter through the infinite; the stars so far,
|
||
But you so near. Wood doves
|
||
Shelter us with belonging. Summer coffins
|
||
The marsh grass with memory. An age
|
||
Glows
|
||
Beneath the ages, among the diffident iris
|
||
And the bashful bougainvillaea.
|
||
|
||
Love is as near as a wish.
|
||
|
||
Love is as simple as you are.
|
||
|
||
Tomorrow is a mantra in a grail of yesterdays.
|
||
Tomorrows wink like ferris wheels.
|
||
Choices and wishes and cotton candy and
|
||
Love. Voices sparkle like home...
|
||
The kiss bright scent of forever...
|
||
The telling laugh through the arbor.
|
||
Apostrophes of orioles sing through the twilight.
|
||
Stars beckon us onward, and the rush deep grasses
|
||
Keeping us with love. But look now...
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 228
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This is dirt, not sand.
|
||
|
||
There are no fields to tend, but only
|
||
Fields to nurture. The light shines for all.
|
||
Beyond the world of our horizon is a horizon
|
||
Of worlds. Only you can say no, as I
|
||
Might have said no, but now, but who now
|
||
Cannot live without yes. Or you.
|
||
Each is the canticle for all,
|
||
Choiring in lives to choir the probabilities...
|
||
An assembly choiring into a specie-
|
||
Factoring into correlation to factor into you.
|
||
Listen, but listen now...
|
||
Eternity chants through the haze plush distance...
|
||
Voicing lives like children, like history.
|
||
From neutron to neutron, from helix to matrix,
|
||
Electron bright in the cosmic song to reunion-
|
||
From assembly to assembly, from life to life....
|
||
|
||
Be with me, come with me,
|
||
|
||
Follow me,
|
||
|
||
I have conjured a life out of symbols and stars.
|
||
I have just enough ashes to make a phoenix.
|
||
My vision is the dome of my knowledge.
|
||
I am what I believe.
|
||
Open my eyes, but shield my sight,
|
||
Rebirth is the product of our eyes.
|
||
Creation's creation continuing creation.
|
||
Accounting for you, accounting for us.
|
||
Let us have a human victory in this age, for
|
||
You are history. You are the army of the republic.
|
||
Your destiny is yours.
|
||
What you can behold you can become.
|
||
Identity is commitment.
|
||
If you would look for a hero,
|
||
Look in the mirror.
|
||
|
||
BAPTISM page 229
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Come alive; come alive with me...
|
||
Come alive in the loaned treasury of your skin.
|
||
Become what you have inherited.
|
||
Action is autobiography.
|
||
Choice is destiny.
|
||
We are what we permit ourselves to see.
|
||
We are what shall emerge from the corridor.
|
||
Fully human in the human ecstasy of skin.
|
||
Laughing, hoping and chanting, remembering what was
|
||
To taste the sweetness of what is now.
|
||
Life in polarity to life.
|
||
I, you, a concept of us.
|
||
A belief, a sense of place for rootless children
|
||
Of a nomad nation and a nomad race, and
|
||
A nomadic specie. A matrix to fulfillment.
|
||
I am the martyr of your arms in the minyon
|
||
Of eternity. Israel catches in my throat like
|
||
The sound of your name, like home.
|
||
|
||
Imagine me.
|
||
|
||
Imagine us.
|
||
|
||
How
|
||
|
||
gethsemane We would launder our dreams in the
|
||
Garden fresh light, spool the tips and
|
||
Parings of our lives in pomegranates, carpentry
|
||
And kisses. Nesting under the wild bravado of
|
||
Stars, I dreamt of a kingdom, when all I had
|
||
Was a kingdom. I have surrendered my life
|
||
For a voice and a message
|
||
To build a nation from the sorrow of my loins...
|
||
Harvesting eternity with the pathos of a smile
|
||
And the ecstasy of a life; with death only for me,
|
||
A memory for a future, a dream for an epitaph.

Sh'ma Yisroael, Hear O Israel...
|
||
|
||
Let the centuries drown in tears, let fear
|
||
Find absolution in love. Redeem me; redeem
|
||
My name, my world, my specie...
|
||
Allow us the togetherness to achieve polarity.
|
||
I have never asked anything for me...
|
||
Only give me this,
|
||
Give me voice to mend hatred with a song;
|
||
Inherit my children with love, that
|
||
They might be prophets to the generations
|
||
Yet unborn; chanting in horas of belonging,
|
||
Shouting and dancing through the brightness
|
||
To whirl this globe with joy
|
||
And find salvation
|
||
In the fusion white radiance of
|
||
Peace.
