mirages of paradise

soothe the vision

as sight fails

and we feel our bodies

disintegrate around ourselves

as we are launched

into the Darkness of God


will I see you on the other side?

the only paradise being

the return to that Source

and the only rest being

to abide in that stillness


leaving once and for all

that darkness....
