BEING

I've planted myself in being-aloneness While longing for the awesome blossom Of being-withness. Often the bridge accesible Now obliterated from my hungry senses Pull-force to hide. Confusing map to buried treasures Dizzily disorientated Merely blonk-bumping into myself. No solid ground in view From my vessel with tattered sails At sea in cold, cloudy waters. Wisp of a darkened cloud Separated from any celestial forms Never a way to attach and belong. Diminutive person-form: Wishing to be of noticeable substance? Or completely, everlastingly invisible?
