Out of the Night: Childness
From my Mystic Life after near-death accident
More than a state of being
A new being
Suffused in light
Whatever is there like being held
In Father’s arms
Way beyond Safe
Carried asleep
From one quiet to another
All of it a heartbeat
Back back back the coming together
Carried in a dark velvet womb
Accepting
Floating from density
Into light
This is only the beginning
Whatever that is
I like the others of no age
Willing for once to wait
Knowing in time
Only the exquisite balance
Of everywhere at once
Saying You are here
Come, you of no name
That Emma fits
Who hears and answers
The answers
Childness knows no blame
Only the lightness of being
In your childness
Nothing will be lost
Though all is right
In the place of no sides at all
Of return without going away
Know this that Time is Life
Enclave born to other enclaves
Every step of the weaning
Still heavy on my pillow
The joy is lifted with me
From even the light am I detached
It takes me in
Till “love calls me to
The things of this world.”
