The
road that leads to no thing is paved with surprises and creativity irises to
chronicle the steps on the way.
The
following are poems that arose for the team during their journey.
At the awakening of a dear friend.
Be one, be here
I would like to
introduce my friend, though there’s a paradox I fear.
When once you
look into her eyes, you find she isn’t here.
So, as you
travel deeper and your sight begins to clear,
Through those
open portals a divinity appears.
It rests in
active solitude, so obviously clear,
It calls to us
continuously, though ‘till now we failed to hear.
And as you gaze
upon my friend in obvious confusion,
You realise, that
you are just an illustrative illusion.
A game played
by that which you see in the deep pools of her eyes,
Till now it has
been lost to all, a teaching for the wise.
Divinity, so
simple and yet the callings clear,
Come back, come
home, be now, be one, and most of all be here.

Written during a succession
of moments of Samadhi when consciousness was giving way to the reality of that
which is “Now”
In those
moments when i was free
In those moments when i was free,
When all of me, just
ceased to be.
And the infinite jumble of
the mind,
It falls away, just drops
behind.
In those moments crystal
clear,
When all illusions
disappear,
That clarity of knowing
now,
The why, the what, the
when, the how.
In those moments alls
revealed,
That before within the
noise was sealed.
Then illuminated eternity,
Enters that space which
ceased to be.
In those moments, precious
few,
There is no time, there is
no you.
Yet there is a knowing
there,
An infinite love of
boundless care.
And in those moments, you
can see,
That this is the place
where all should be.

Written when
the illusion of “I” was fading.
Time Ceased
to Flow
There is a space not long
ago,
When time began to cease
to flow,
And that which is just
went away,
Intending to return one
day.
And on its journey to
nowhere,
It searched for all that
wasn’t there.
And in that vast infinity,
I found its space and
ceased to be.
And as I began to fade
away,
It remembered in a funny
way,
That its quest to never
be,
Was all about being free.
Yet dimly as it fades
away,
It hears itself so plainly
say,
I was in charge until that
day,
When time just seemed
to go away.

There is a seed of that to come
As nothing wanders throughout the day,
where
confusion reigns it makes its way.
Stepping
though the void of mind,
To search for that it cannot find.
Yet in
the dark that’s lurking there,
the light
pours in, transforms the fear.
And in
the peace that wells below,
comes
forth the joy that self does know.
Has known it from the dawn of time,
though
hidden by the thoughts of mind.
So now,
floating on that veil of light,
Is
reminded of the endless night.
When
forgetfulness had all in train,
which now
released calls us again.
It calls
us now, to be as one,
to walk
the path where love is come.
To be there, now and in its thrall,
to
dissolve the bonds that enslave your soul.
For in
the light that lingers there,
that
illumines the dust of ancient despair.
There is
a seed of that to come,
of joy,
of light, of searching done.
There is
a fruit of this to come,
When we
will all, just be, as one.

Love is where you are
Hello, is that you
calling? Have you always been here?
I’ve
sort of never really heard you, you’ve been
close though never clear.
And now I
“think” I understand you and the reason why you’re here,
I feel
the fear of love arising and my destinies not clear.
I know
that very shortly I shall slide away from life,
because
it wasn’t mine to start with, I’m an illusion of the mind.
And
you’re the great divinity that generates my kind,
Yet as I
go I know, that you will continue with my life.
I’m
just a game that’s being played upon the background of the stars,
there may
be many like me though I don’t know where they are.
But I
know with total surety that love is where you are,
and
though I go, I’ll know that you will be out there in the stars.

The one I
never ever knew
There is a quiet voice within my head,
For which divine love is the seed.
It’s been my friend for many eons,
though I have never known the need.
To contact it before now, to listen to its voice,
though in order to do that, I have to make a choice.
‘Cause if I listen closely and that voice is really heard,
Then I, who am the listener will be gone without a word.
And yet that voice is calling, it’s calling me so clear,
so is now just the moment for me to disappear.
And when I go I know that I will not mourn me,
for I will vanish in the void of love; just instantly.
And when I think about this, and I do, I really do,
I know that I will always be the one I never ever knew.
