Roaming in the Supremely Profound State Inherent in Matter As It Is




The planets sing strophe and antistrophe
Like a tragic chorus
Inside the amphitheater of the stars
Where the Muses and Graces
Consort and cavort with Eris
And all the alarming children she bore.

A circle of storm clouds of electro-magnetic rain 
Gather apocalyptically along the edges of Mind,  
Registering every thought
Impressed upon them 
By cosmic Logos

As the Moon
In radiant choreography
Executes the map and schema of her dance,
Spinning in the sky
A design of steps
Emblazoned upon the floor of Earth,
Her nightly performance                    
Costumed by the swirl of lunar clouds
Drenched with sweat of cosmic pain and strife,
A human audience below 
Arduously mirroring her steps up a silver stairwell 
Into the suffering and liberation of days to come

And the archetypal trope and image 
Of the nightingale
In every poem that ever sang of the bird
Warbles clear in the vanishing moment, 
Writing and unwriting themselves
And this feathered one
Of love's secrets and mystery..

And the silent instruction of the moon    
Constantly addressing us
In ghostly transmissions
Which only our subconscious fathoms 
Directs our hearing
To the dialogues of stars,
To the symphonies of planets
In the universal current of sound
As we roam in the supremely profound state
Inherent in matter 
As it is

Along the sapphire  streams
That branch and tumult through the heavens
Fine-tuned tonalities 
Of painful bliss and wretched accord        
Beyond all comprehension flow,
A confusion of so many pathways 
Converging within a spiral
Of sound compressed inside a seashell.

There is no way out, there is only going within
For us who are broken pieces of an enigma
In search of our source,
Lost in the murmuring echo of our life

There is for us
A music dressed in the One Breath
That we hear without hearing
Within the opening that surrounds us.

The Logos that informs
All those burning words 
That we have ever put forth
To render and construct our life
And stand on the sharp nail point of 
I Am 
And build.

This unceasing state of probation
In which our fledgling skill  as co-creators
Is placed on trial 
To undergo the throes of defeat
And scratch for a rare, limited victory
Upon the Earth

To follow with hammer and nails
The One Thought in its expedition
To the edge
Of  Multiversal reality

A two word matrix going forward of
I Am,     It is
Moment after moment.

My most beloved
Does orchestrate the symphonies for
Electric hierarchies of harping angels
Who from the Beginning
Erected heavenly palaces and castles
From the architectonics of music,
The vibrant electro-magnetic resonance
Of primordial dawn.

A Perpetual victory.  
The superconscious singing in pre-verbal harmony,
That force of sympathy that has carried us
Along this narrow pass across the abyss of exile.

From the Kingdom to the Crown
The openness of Creation constantly breathing
Its plenary space 
Supernaturally shimmering everywhere 
As the lost chord played by seraphim
Thrums the air with the invisible Flames
That surround us.

Our minds dazzled by things of a greater nature
That undistort our genius
While the seraphim conduct
The choir of dominions and angels 
Who sing and play on golden harps
Somewhere in this universe, I believe. 
Or maybe not.

Perhaps there are no hierarchies whom rhapsodize the heavens, but
Perhaps there are. 
The air we breathe is constantly breathing for us. 
This breath is the music of the universe that engulfs us. 

In the immediate present
Is the culmination of  a stream of Events
Barreling out of the past 
Linked to a pre-existent future
That branches wildly
In a whole series of unfolding results 
Continuous with their causes
Ad infinitum

The central point of the first unity
The whirling forth of the self-expression of the Primal Will,
The ever-turning of the wheel of manifestation
Perpetual motion, the triple ternary from the atom to the planet,
Spherical motion
The solution for the quadrature of the circle
Exists with God
For Whom nothing is impossible

The perceived forms of the eternal world
Are those which are constantly perceived in this one,

It is here the angels depart compassionately to the foreground,
Bidding us to come toward them without assistance,
Leaving us to place our lives in the balance
And stand in poise amidst the gravity of the universe,
To equilibrate Being, Becoming, and Nothingness
At the fulcrum of all possible worlds 

To find the best,
And to plead with dignity for mercy and success
And move forward and onward 
With our first baby steps each moment
Into the Unknown echoing
Into the Unknowable
Forever roaming in the supremely profound state
Inherent in matter
As it is.
