Ode to being alive no.16 titled: ‘Desire’s Whole’

Like a brick man falls to be free of doubt,
to uplift what is possible.
In God’s grace he is finished,
forgetful of his loneliness and suffering.
He walks the path of purity and serenity,
as a companion does for the dancing blind.
Along the way he meets many beggars with despair,
to have their stolen truth revealed in an ever present surrender.
He begins seeing beings arise that go to help,
no longer afraid of the silence but listening to the voice of the Wholly Other.
He starts to take space for the death and dying,
to be one and align with hope and vision.
And within the miserable pessimism of abundance,
he finds the numinous of the mad.
