BRIEF ETERNITY

One day, long ago, on the shores of the Indian Ocean,

I entered the mystical garden where all is one,

losing all limitation of body,

all sensation of body,

all body

 

I was the swaying palm tree along the beach,

fronds waving in the sky that was also me,

birds flying into my crown and settling.

 

For a brief eternity

I glimpsed bliss,

bliss of belonging,

bliss of union with all,

bliss of freedom from boundaries

 

For just a moment I stepped

into this place that is no place, into

this time which is the crucible of all time

and dissolved into divine ecstasy
