To Reason From Mystery

  
To Reason From Mystery


Let the quiet envelope me like velvet, like cream
          sometimes silence is my chosen sound
      revealing my confusion
          the offer to share
      my questions inquire
          which breaks the envelope
and I loose part of me once again
       A cosmic purple beckons
            my hearts desire
            for surrender, to be open
with eyes sober and ancient
          with smile unyielding
       how much do I really see
     the earth calls me
  the pull from standing to crawl
I roll in the imaginary leaves, snow, mud
     curl into myself like a tight fisted bud
then the call to rock gently
         until I open
I am the pebble tossing in the waves
         I am the ameba, worm, 
                 soft shelled crab
         the full impact of gravity pulls
            I am transforming
this is my calling
         it requires surrender and silence
