Experience once

The flower cracks 
the seed
That grows the bud 
And the smallest atomised grain blooms the maths of things 
Joy love, fear and pain 
the equation of being
The Quality of the senses .
The colour of  mind.
mind of brain 
and brain of matter
matter of thought.

And in this way the universe fulfils itself from Thought to matter to matters of thought.
To being to beginning and end.
What are the qualities of all the geometry of things?
when is matter spirit and spirit matters maths?
When does matter gather conscious to itself
And bind it in the dark 
And weld it to the heart?
Or is consciousness the primary 
Generator?
Life and consciousness and consciousness to life 
in this dance and  flow 
Of field and force
Vibrant shimmer and shiver 
Up and down the dark waters of a universal flow

I think my life is thought 
built on a billion suns
And  the seed that falls 
at my end, cracks.
Falling into the ever falling night 
Until there grows a far off light.

Mother

Motherless children grow
In unimaginable sorrow
An eternal lonely space
A universal hollow place
That will never heal.
We are wound.
We do not know what it is we miss

Yet we thrive in art and song
In the doing and the done 
In business and changing things
We take on the world alone
And win in our loss
Our splendid isolation 
Our razor skin
Our tower of splendid absence
Our thrown of disfunction and distain
Our unnerving refusal to give in
To your world to your society 
God’s world in which
we blaze in fury!
