the word is not the thing

Some say god is dead
never did exist
a word given, a path lead
but I know i felt the rapture of her bliss.
Even these words fall empty
have no value, letters on a page
for on one brilliant morning I walked
inside a universe I fell
speared by a love not sought, deserved
I dissolved into this.

I was the eye inside the eye
a heart within the heart
a million intersecting atoms
a sunrise of bliss.

And then years passed
I battled by time.
And I stood by Ghandhi's grave
in a land where mystics live
and felt the unrequited love
so soft as if kissed by her dove.

beautiful

I thought the last stanza was evocative. Brought the whole experience around. Lovely. raskin

thanks, some things are better not said as words get in the way, but i wanted to explain at least in some way, because i believe there is something, but its not you doing the doing if you get my drift.

~Blessed Bliss~

Your poem melted into me. I felt it rush into my heart and play a rhapsody for peace, love, and tomorrow.

Blessed be this day Down Under!

Warm regards,
