What if the spiritual world were simply
a song, a song that stripped
away the world yet left us
home and listening
but not home as we knew it,
a deeper home that just kept
getting deeper until we were
no longer big enough to hold it
And we had to – no, wanted to –
let the ever-changing, ever growing
song be what it was
and not constrained by
small lungs and narrow mouths.
Accepting our acceptance
The song grew as we dissolved
and was not heard anymore
because it had replaced hearing
With being,
And then there was only being
And what is the Being is
heard by everyone who listens
but I was not there, anymore
Because
We are here
