"Le Terrain du Vide~ The Ground of Emptiness"

La terrain du vide et les squelettes de lumiere

~ ~~~~ ~

Within the ground of emptiness

there are hidden bones of light

where, like nightfall, we quietly slide

out of our given skin

~

Our canvas of colors became loosened

as our bones were washed clean

in a liquid unknowing

we are opened, glistening wet

  and we slip into darkened light 

that is breathing between our worlds

~

 We are circling

the structures of a land

that we cannot see

and a substance of colors

remains to guide us

like northern light

into the beauty of everything.

~

God creates paint

that we may hold colors of love 

within us

and come to know 

the many names of beauty

and the many names of God.

We listened to rain 

as it fell onto quiet trees

with patterns of water

that fell into us 

and we stepped through doorways

timeless and unbound

into the landscape of a wish

~

Beauty will braid our geometrical line

into the soul that reaches

toward a hidden star

yet we cannot name this, nor should we

~

Enter the painting

 where a sacred compass is held

  the dervish moving within the center point

swirling shapes of a linear arc
toward a hidden curve

returning to us
 the breath of balance
 and speaks without words a mystical language

unveiling patterns within an ancient dream

~

Open deeper

into the substance of light 

 tracing our kaleidoscopic skin
from elements moving through time

and carve your sacred path of colors

etched from imagination
into geometrical bodies

that reveal our invisible world

We are gathering

on a vertical horizon

holding the elements 

that are carried from our birth

your essence is earth

and she gave you fire

while I hold the wind in my hands

~

We listened to rain

as it fell onto quiet trees

with patterns of water 

that fell into us

 as we became starborn

the gardens bloomed once again.

My deepest gratitude is with you for your gift of contemplating the geometry of beauty in this world and returning it to us, reshaped and exquisite.
