The journey

Beyond enclosed space, walls and bars
Tiptoeing through mazes of hallucinations
I come upon the threshold
Like emerging from darkness to
Sudden brilliance - of distant suns
Sudden shift in the breeze -
The stars emerge from their eclipse

The land itself is re-patterned
Burgeoning creepers, thrusting flower buds
Re-emerge from the dry kaolin, ashes
Even still celestial bodies
Begin their perambulations anew
In quiescence to new realities
Obscured by the dust kicked up
By a yesterday storm

As the dust begins to settle
The earth opens her arms invitingly
You lie supine on her soft breast
And languorously watch the spectacle
The whimsical celestial drama unfolding
Scene by scene

Arrested in this transient moment
After journeying past dust clouds
Into the embrace of Mother Earth
The reality of
Infiniteness is unveiled
