desert spring

the Mother,

Sanity, Truth, Home,

you've always wanted,

since time began,

and space and "lack",

separation/body

you never left,

and nothing ever left

Her,

freedom from sin/guilt,

Clear Sky

clouds are not the universe,

the whole

rich,

they are nutrition

nurturing,

the feeding

One Thing

i open my mouth

wide

to receive

these gifts

of thunder,

lightening,

wind,

darkness

i guzzle

the torrent

like a baby with it's bottle,

it's mother's nipple

i do not exist

apart

from this lifeline

what insanity

to wish

it would not rain

to wish the sunshine would

remain always

how dry and thirsty

my throat,

a raisin

in the sun

thank you for the sanity

that sees

its oneness

with the rain

that dreads nothing,

opposes

no thought at all

each drop

of thought,

a sprinkle,

a choice

to give thanks...

or to wish

water would disappear

from earth

and die

desert spring

thank you, brother,

for your "sins"

i see they are

but flowers

in my garden

i wish nothing

to be different

or

i but burn in hell

desert spring:

beyond my thinking

let the rain drown me

from my dreams
