we are One

we are One

i removed my shoes

at the threshold

as i prepared to enter

the inner sanctum

i open that hallowed door,

i enter the House of my beloved

and i begin to de-cloak my self

of all that the world

has given me

i have cast my unified mask

of self and deceit

in the waste place

and my face is now bared

i enter the great room

where the cleansing waters run

and i begin to wash away

the accumulated soils

that reside upon the 7 skins

of my body

collected,

accumulated

from all the days

i have ever lived . . . the many life times

being pleased with my efforts

my Soul calls to me

to come to the reckoning

and i am reverent

for i have been blessed

to be able to hear

such a sweet melodious calling

and my heart begins to dance . . .

a dance i thought i had forgotten

my feet lead me down a path

adorned with the scents of becoming

and i am orgasmic with anticipation

of what is to come about

the door that is of light

the gateway that shines,

and speaks words

and incantations

of holiness and praise

opens,

and i walk in

with my head bowed

and my eyes averted

from the awe whose presence

has come for me

i am about to completely

lose my self

i am being absorbed

absolution shadows the way

there is a sense of abandon

coupled with a wanton-ness

i have never felt before,

ever

and my awareness is heightened

and overtaking

the brim

of my small cup

of self

i am ecstatic

for the air is filled

with climactic promise

i ease across the great room

to the Down tufted bed

where lovers conjugate

and i offer my self

into its soft willing embrace

i lay my self,

my weariness

my head

upon the solitary pillow

in the chamber of my betrothed

i open my self

with desire

with need

for what all Souls vie for

that i may receive the blessings

of thy seed

my sacredness calls out

the spirit of my Lover comes upon me

and captures all of my thoughts

my presence

my essence

i submit

with no recourse

for i no longer have wishes

of mine own

my vulnerabilities

are bleeding it's restraints

upon the unspoiled sheets

there is a One-ness

that comes

and consumes me

deeply

completely

and i now see clearly

through that glass

that once separated

Self from Reality

when i was but a foolish Child

i have arrived here

that i may learn to Dream

and be actualized

in all my thoughts

i will no longer speak

Dead Words,

nay . . .

i shall speak in color

with tones of a sovereignty

where chaos is enslaved to “be-ing”

this day is my day

and it is eternal

my Beloved comes to me

bathed in a robed light

that moves my perceptions

to a place

i have never been

my Lorde unveils

and stands before me

Regal

with a nakedness of wonder

that overcomes

all definitions

what do i know

for i am not thinking,

just feeling

and bathing in the flow

of the experience

which is like a gentile raging River

that can not be assuaged

i know

the Ocean of existence

is my destiny

i am ready

my consciousness is penetrated

and i am seeded with song

like that of Solomon

who too knew

of such things

my entirety begins

to quake, to quiver

and i shiver with a fulfilled knowing

that the sowing of this seed within me

shall yield a fruit

no man has ever tasted

. . . i am wasted

yet chaste

my old self

he who i once believed i knew

has dissipated

into the ether

my eyes are now closed

and my singular “I” is open

wide

and i see only 'Purpose'

and we begin to speak

of what is to come

a smile creases my face

my all-ness

filled with bliss

and the heavens open unto me

and the Angels kiss me

and all is bright

within me

and without

i fall upon my knees

offering my feeble obeisance

but there is a hand that lifts me

to my feet

and a voice commands me

and speaks unto me

to look

upon the face of thy God

there is no fear

to be found

this is Holy ground

i peer as directed

and there is a looking glass

and i see

that My God,

my Lorde

looks . . .

just like me

there is a faint whisper

a unified voice

that resonates but truth

that says to me . . .

“did you not believe

that you were made in My image ?”

“You are endowed with all that 'I AM',

and the seeds that thou have sown this day

were that of Thine own,

so be it known

that We are One.”
