Orbit

To enter, or to tarry – to flight or to land – ground this thing imagined in eyes wide open – legs crossed and fully entered energetically for the first time. Soul glimpse - but personal. How doe we navigate the days of our lives? What purpose do we find from allowing the nothing mind to steer and to guide. I found your light – you mine – we went upwards, downwards, inwards, outwards – toward then away. I listen to music from lovers – beating a sound all the way to infinity – and I somehow don’t relate to them – but I relate to you – in this world of orbiting planets and constellating stars you are my bright morning star – my bright evening star – Mars and Venus – where is Mercury? I don’t know the planets but they know me – I pull in their wise words and turn my astrological chart in my hands – where – what – how? Get going he said to me – be about your life’s work – do not tarry a moment longer – or wait. Waiting was for the time of busyness – now you have learnt to be still. Move from the still place – the still point on which the axis of everything turns – you turn over, away perhaps, but always back – beckoning eyes, sad eyes, joyful eyes. Fear filled wells that reflect back myself – my inner experience. You and I are the same in some sense – made kin by our meeting – kin that transcends country and mother tongue – but also includes all. All belongs in this pell mell kowtow of life issuing forth like a river with boulders broad and strong – holds the mighty torrents - allows itself to be worn away – gives of its mineral to water, fish, air and the microbial world our eyes do not see. I do not see half of what is happening here as I continue my track – my orbit around your hot glowing molten core – life can be found on your planet – a place ready for inhabitation – making my slow course in cryostasis hoping that you will still be there when I arrive.
