There is a grace
approaching
that we shun as much as death,
it is the completion of our birth.
that we shun as much as death,
it is the completion of our birth.
It does not come in
time,
but in timelessness
when the mind sinks into the heart
and we remember.
but in timelessness
when the mind sinks into the heart
and we remember.
It is an insistent grace
that draws us
to the edge and beckons us surrender
safe territory and enter our enormity.
to the edge and beckons us surrender
safe territory and enter our enormity.
We know we must
pass
beyond knowing
and fear the shedding.
beyond knowing
and fear the shedding.
But we are pulled
upward
none-the-less
through forgotten ghosts
and unexpected angels,
luminous.

through forgotten ghosts
and unexpected angels,

And there is nothing left to
say
but we are That.
but we are That.
And that is what we sing
about.
