the mystery
of this simple moment
can not be spoken
yet all of history
occurred to arrive here.
the mystery
of the endless terrain of self
can not be mapped out
countless new frontiers
are born with every breath.
the mystery
of awakening
can not be achieved
all that is needed
is to notice
inner eyes that never close.
the mystery
of sweet undying love
can not be understood
the heart already knows
what the mind can only long for
the mysteries
always remain
untouched by worried thought
ready to welcome us home
when we abandon our dreams
