stepping back

*

stepping back

into the nether regions

of our ‘mind'

what does one find?

jumping, with faith, off

the cliff of rationality,

judgement, opinion

habitually

sour the path..

again and again,

as persistent pilgrims,

do we venture back..

into darkness,

hostile, bewildering,

unknown, uncharted

yet enticing, beckoning..

as water -  powerful, implacable,

yet instantly yielding

to  our thrust..

the nether regions,

treated with respect,

unfold  -

glorious panorama!

the like of which,

once glimpsed

ne'er forgotten..

indeed in truth,

there are no boundaries,

neither barrier

to our emergence at

the boundless convergence

into Mind..

stepping back

into the nether regions

of our ‘mind'

what does one find?

 glimpse of Eternity,

whole ness,

one ness..

bowing deeply

we inevitably return

to the mundane,

the ‘real' ‘now,'

tho' tempered

with  glorious

memory and vision

of our inevitable

destination..
