"A moment past time to eternity"


Poem Artwork

Beyond

for Ashleigh as she goes to Oregon

Beyond the pink and purple morning clouds
A moment past time to eternity
Beyond the preoccupied morning crowds
Behind your eyes inside is where you see
Beyond your street is more to meet is more
To see than you have ever seen before

Alone with love you see the petals of
The lotus as it unfolds there within
Where inner eyes open and you begin
To learn how to see by the light of love
That it turns out love is God after all
God is love and they were right about this

But maybe they loved God a size too small
As more concerned with punishment than bliss
And once you fall in love with God you know
That they must have misunderstood God when
They misunderstood love since now as then
You have to fall in love with love or fall
Victim to the victims of fear again
Unready for the universal kiss
The light of love is what the lonely miss

And now you know and grow and go your way
Beyond the preoccupied morning crowds
A moment past time to eternity
Beyond tomorrow beyond yesterday
Beyond the pink and purple morning clouds
Behind your eyes inside there where you see
Beyond your street is more to meet is more
To be than you have ever been before

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
