Of the Space in between
Tension & The Shadow Gang
Peer in through a gap at the little scene.
Expressions read "Vibrating Tension", but not Stress,
Nor anxiety nor fear - shields and swords are down
A crackle and a hiss - escaping steam, as
Rocks show up in the armpit of experience
Smelly, sweaty, old and sometimes hard, they
Pass through bowels, exiting by a back passage
Branches call out softly, repeating my name
In the space above the moss, beyond the thorns
Compassionate, invisible, companionable vibes
of these ancient incense-breathing trees
A bunny rabbit emerges from the undergrowth
Stops to gaze at me for a moment..."Alice?"
A hole in a leaf expands outwardly inwards
Becoming wHole again: Wonderland!
It's not sexual, yet pulsating, kinetic
Magnetic, vibratingly throbbing,
Pumping creative energy,
This Orificial Opening.
From within, without, above and surround
A silence-breaking mystical sound
Emanating
Birthed within sacred ground
Spiraling
Voices - resonant, profound
Echoing
Round and round and round
They are singing:
"Sever the ties that bind you
To ideas, concepts, belief systems
And the images that you construct
Of others and yourself!"
"The Game of Polarity is tricky and that's fine
You wanna 'Know' wtf, don't you?
But you overlook the play -
The 'Dancing Chessboard'
When you are burdened, tied down,
Driven by currents of emotional reactivity."
"What is Real, Valuable and True
Canot be dismantled, diluted
Or taken away.......Imagine!
Why Fear for it....(?)... never was snatched away!"
"In your busyness you forget
That Nature is everLoving, everLasting,
Infinitely regenerative, clued-up and
Beyond labels of 'good' and 'evil' -
As are You and 'I'."
