Mystery II

Washed in the darkness

With the thick night pushing me

Clouds of unknowing

‘Cross the starry field

Mirrored in the deep blue sea

Disturbed by passion

Buffeted by winds

The ocean swells and threatens

Down, I will not go

Reaching for the truth

A life-line of certitude

A raft of reason

Watch beauty ascend

Her halo burning brightly

Slip the solar disk

Seeking out the good

Journey into mystery

Take the cup of fire

The world falls away

And I fall with it, bonded

Sleeping with the dead

Separate from God

These elusive mysteries

I have no answers

Meaningless riddles

Static, in the flow of time

Self dissolution
