Harmonics of light

My eyes beheld—

for the first and only time—

this one, continuous moment,

living in the ever-arriving

arc of light

of the One.

The divine presence of creation

looked through my eyes,

and I was transfigured

into the same undulating light

as the whole universe.

Shimmering, I opened

from within

to the most present truth

of who I am.

I called out in response,

singing in the vibration

of the creator.

The tree outside my window

shimmered green,

its dappled light and shadow

echoing my song.

The air shimmered

within me and all around me.

I was a shimmer

within the shimmer of creation.

I sang the harmonics

of now, and now, and now...

and eternity in the now.

The blue sky witnessed

the vibrant dance

of the molecules of seeing

and the resounding song of being.

This persisted outside of time—

in now’s eternity—

each moment met fully,

fulfilling all

seeing,

singing,

being.

Each moment:

the first and only—

heart broken open.

Then, my eyes closed.

And my hands

spread rainbows

across the distances,

through the darkness—

rainbows of love,

reconciliation,

healing,

love.
