I have Five Senses
for which to observe
the likeness of things
the heavens the earth
but clamoring inside me
the sense that must be
many more things
than with eye can be seen
or ear to be heard
or touch to embrace
or smell to suss out
the shape nor with taste
these things that I know must be
... upon me so near
cannot be known with these
so what is the cosmos?
what is it friend
that we clunk about clumsily
until our end
it is to be found outside of the self
the temple of God
the Spirit behold!
need not scores of fingers
or ear to be told
but to be known
the darkness that settles upon each self
brings forth His legions
back into to Light
stave off thine hands
cover thine ears
close thine eyes
and silence thine tongue
listen, touch, taste
see and hear through the One
And you will know too
what distracts as we roam
tripping up needlessly
along the Pilgrim's Road Home
The Cosmos gives way
like beach unto sea
to Heavens Gate!
The Soul longs to be
Where all senses sense
And all shapes announce
what they are
what they are not
Neither seasons, nor distance
nor shadows exist
But Summer and closeness
and shade do persist
It is Jupiter's realm
that we must
to a man
renounce
in order to know
what, where, when
within which we exist.
