Darkness

DARKNESS

10/11/11

As I wander off today any lights seem to be

an interference with where I need to be.

So it’s off into the darkness I do wander.

Seeking where there’s not a light to see.

It sets the mood for contemplation.

Not really, I guess, for it was no-mind.

That’s what I was seeking, no thoughts at all,

just feeling and sight with no thoughts at all.

I feel the earth rise as I walk along,

over a mound did I stroll.

See it not did I.

But experience the rise and fall I did.

Looking down my feet I did not see

for it was pitch black, a darkness so stark.

But the rise and fall of the land I experienced

without the aid of sight.

And so I found in the darkness what I sought,

a no-mind state,

and experienced wandering in quite a different way.

May your day surprise you like that

when an ordinary experience

appears in an extraordinary way.

All My Love Always, Keith
