Poems
THEME/S
1
Mind free from thought, heart void of hunger's bond
Make room for a gold link with a vast Beyond.
A silence opens to an eternily,
Like some wide, quiverless, unsleeping eye.
A flame unflickering, rooted in core of clay,
Flies up to kiss a secret deathless Day.
2.8.83
2
Out of the heart a fire goes flowering up
To unfold a secret halo round the face.
No vision of time's unrest can ever stop
The fathomless silence kindling in the gaze—
Sign of the Immortal in the mortal, lit
By the self-wakening bodied Infinite.
8.8.83

"Nothing the kindled soul has known is lost:
There's but a seeming desert to be crossed.
Strive not. Stand deedless, silent, bare.
All 1 shall do. I wait within, to out-flare.
The godhead filling your muteness with his name,
A rhythm and rapture of the Undying's world-game!"
17.8.83

4
Deep in heart's space a self-enraptured void
Eats ever the honey of a gold loneliness.
Out of that secrecy as in a dream
Earth's tossing seas and musing hills are born.
They are crossed, they are climbed, but through the
labour and love
Always the sense is aglow with the mysteried One
Who is all yet world-free, infinitely None.
