Finding the center of the silent drum
I am numb
To all but the vastness in which I succumb
To the living knowledge
Momentarily
I become a witness to the eternally unfolding
Only one
Who knows my heart has broken open
Crying for the stars to remember when we parted
Long ago we were a single luminous celebration
Emanating from a divine fragmentation
I have dreamt of the infinite brilliance of that moment
I have stood in the whirlwind of that cataclysmic foment
I alone felt the surging reverberating word
And I heard the sound of soulfire stirred
I am left with a lingering sensation of peace
My thoughts cease
I gain nothing from knowing release
While I wait for these shadowy figures to pass
I am first
Always
And last
