Free of the cobwebs of desire,
I will lie upon the good earth
and see the stars without judgement
or inclination to talk; see them
not as something distant,
nor with time and space in mind,
nor light years and the idiosyncracies
of perception.
I will see them as I am, in my
brief eternity, without the power
to see behind phenomenon's thin veil.
My gaze will be steady and deep,
and when I sleep I will sleep
free of any vain need to be alone.
I will climb as far as what I see,
reaching for that unspeakable love.

My gaze will be steady and deep,
and when I sleep I will sleep
free of any vain need to be alone. <----I love, and understand that.
I felt like the stars were looking back at me while I was reading this, and I was alone in the grass with them. What great images you project, excellent.
