I HAVE A CAVE
A sortof freehold spot,
call it a palace, a transient cell
or a spatial retreat -
my heart’s own home:
exact in latitude and longitude, here ‘n now
anchored in flesh-time,
with a place-name and code
in the wilderness of extension:
a viewing point for eyes and mind:
fine fruit of parental duty and toil -
this waking, walking, cave.
There are trees nearby, with avian residents
and nextdoor neighbours;
my family is literally overhead, near and far:
the other side of a wall -
or flimsy glob of meta-space
even see-through Time;
whether virtually or present instantly -
beloveds all.
A cave within a cave.
It has an engine, a dynamo,
a living pulse, song or note;
the cosmic Aum - Amein resounds,
surrounds
reverberates all round,
shimmering in every cell and Cell
the nuclear core (of each) alive and resonant
throughout.
Part of - participant.
We breath and move
as if separate, intact, unique.
What a joke or awake-dream:
the relativity of walk-in reality!
when we are everywhere and one, no-one or where
all at once. And not
- nor When or How.
Consciousness:
be-ing self-aware,
utterly luminous, samadhic.
