“… what is hidden is revealed,” sayeth the lord.
basho advised, “go to the pines…”
josh sez, “become a school of fish.”

what comes first,
walking or waking-up?
how do you
create love among
strangers?
coax angels out of
human forms?
ignite the sacredness of open
space?
iii
can you wander your way
to enlightenment?
loosen you muscles. open
your eyes.
when you walk,
just walk.
release your hearts
& join a gaggle of children
on the path to nirvana.

bodies dissolve into silence
until there is only
soul.
v
when the sun dips
towards the horizon &
all the earthly clouds
have scuttled home,
the radiance of heaven
pierces the glass &
our auras catch
fire.
we rise off the ground
like a swirling carousel
of burning butterflies––
dancing together
in a dome of
light.
vi
the finale:
paying attention
ever &
always.
