with or
without the voice
of a god––
we know the
ground is
sacred
& remove our
shoes
when the light
is holy––
we know & the
camera knows––
the photograph
illuminates it
self
how much love
does it take
to hold the atoms
together
in the crystal of
a diamond?
or does the
crystal of a
diamond eternally
generate
love?
if there are no
eyes to see them––
there are no
stars
if eyes are not
focused in a
mind, nothing
cares
your mind is
filled with the
light of billions of
stars & you
care
when you
smile at the
sky––
planets
warm
your consciousness
embraces all that
lives––
all that
is
our dust
nurtures our
spirits
the heart breathes
by opening––
the mind thinks
by opening––
the body finds
freedom by
opening
open-ness is
continuous, contiguous
& timeless––
the gathering of
infinities of
infinities
here we are
in the blue
chasms between the
clouds
happy to be
touching––
lighter than
air
