ELSE-WAYS

Everywise, as eyes and minds expand

with senses and horizons

ever growing;

experientially, eclectically,

existententially;

we, little partial immortals

stretch and strangle ourselves in one go:

with all the options, mysteries and impossibles 

along with the rooted tangles of conditioning and ignorance - prejudice, preconceptions

and necessity.

Sudden, hands-on visions

of other worlds - not always so far away, 

in alien galaxies, multiverses or dimensions

but here and now, within and all around.

Unseen or edgeless realities:

life-forms we durst not dream of,

as well as beyond conception 

as we, myopically bent on survival

cannot envisage joy and awe 

alive inside our instant-now.

 The tumults of everyday

become inexpressible secrets

to hide - in and from being afraid:

a web of what-ifs and dangers

as well as very real probables -  so-called Sense prevailing.

The beauty of Love and Truth,

invisible under our noses,

inextricably present in the

tone and feel of bodyspeke;

the hearts own silent thunder,

crystal-still.

The truth of Beauty’s ineffable Love.

Today’s pondering.
