existential diamond-light

beautifying our inner & outer masks

a sanctuary of cloud upon cloud

sending out the kiss of presence

the indiscriminate soul flame

finding the sage in-between the lines

where the ineffable & the hard edge collide

endurance & equanimity

when wind-tossed longing finds alignment

the twinkling stars behind our sorrow

the courage to be human

finding solace in irrational order

feeling giddy in the pit of not-knowing

a topographical map of our fecund, inner landscape

where the angels enter
