If I reach my One arm towards the stars, my fingers absorbing,

Pause

Close my eyes
and take in—

right there

A sensation like water—
drip,

The Eternal—way, way, way out there—or really, is it here, on my skin, and now

within

thud dup
thud dup
thud dup

Softly air wisps
it is layering my soul
I sense it…
a caress, of silvery breath

thud dup

Has it always been?
the Be of been,
just One pause away
One. pause.
then—
no spin

My soul once sealed—
the dreamer drifted—
too far away
Too far to sense it
Right. There.

thud dup
Thud dup
Thud Dup
Pause

Then quick like a soft, electric, skip of beat—
purest in pulse—
smoothly together
we Be.come the One—

drip
drip —then a swirl
like fluttering leaf

Thud Dup

I sense you…

Thud Dup

I sense you…

The One.
—that never paused—
The Eternal, the Life…
it,
as it always was
