"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.

For you 

May you have happiness and peace

in this next year of life
