Empty IS Full Of Silence

Up, up rose the spirit into a pink and paradisiacal contentment, whence she viewed space with rosy rapture; the effect beginning to wear off, or reaching terra firma, she became aware of hundreds of parcels or shelves, identically marked "Jesus Wept".

Anhalonium


I am the Christ.  I am loved.
I, adored and believed.
The laurel is wound, the path is cleared,
The bar was set and I've achieved.

In the voices of quarreling men,
Three trees have sung a subtle song,
the giver and thief to yolk.
The doubter and disciple together belong.

Riding on the rising wind
The slender limbs of faery folk
Have borne my soul unto the urn
While whispering of an untellable joke

About a Cave that sparkles crystal clear
And therein a Self still as fragile glass,
who hears the splash of Immortal Tears
--The love-song of the First and Last!
