the vista ahead is frightening

in its immensity--

what vanity of man deludes him

into thinking he can control creation?

what oppressive unnatural fit

of humility causes him 

to forget he would be one with the One

if he would forget his humility

and his vanity-- and just BE where

he is meant to be--and know it?

                                                                            *

underlying the inertia

 enormous amounts of life

boil in the vision

of activity--

the end in itself

its own reality

its own meaning--

toward what disruption

of illusion--
