) Dark Moon Woman (
I can only pretend to understand you
You crush my measly world many times
Expecting a smile and an embrace
I find a snarl and rejection
I can’t be your servant
I can’t be your master
Only this ungraspable uncertainty looms untainted
Unaffected by the rise and fall of lives and worlds
Only when this endless frustration tires can I see beyond
Fantasy and planning are the games of fools
Yet we must pretend as is custom
Waiting for friendship love to dawn
Here in the darkness of unknowing
Possibilities lost forever in an instant
Others arise in an instant
The past will go
The future will come
Let us leave them alone for Now
And wander aimlessly in the Timeless Awareness
Cravers of Order and Justice fall short
Those immersed in Struggle and Effort falter
The cunning connivers make ill-fated attempts
But those who carry no banners travel safely
To the realm of the space gypsies
Yogi and Gypsy take flight
The Sky is for Traveling
Merely Ribbons in the Wind of Open Presence
The World, its inhabitants, and their demands
block the entrance to the Sky Realm
To serve them well is the gate fee
We all must Journey So ready the Ships Aye
What can we do but ready the ships - shall we?
Ready the ships and dance along
Meet the strands of Light that live in the Darkness
Meet the thunderous mantra of the Universe
For the Body shields us from the Divine that terrifies us
To cut things up with mind is just Play
The Mere Play of Perfect Wisdom
Deity shape-shifts from Master to Slave to Lover to
Father-Mother to Friend to Playmate to Self to Void
The Dark Moon Woman is Empty
Without the Quality of Illumination
True Substancelessness
The Nature of All Things
Cruel Beast of a Nurturing Mother
Has nothing to do with thoughts and words and bodies
Thoughts are the Mind
Words are Sounds and Symbols
The Body is the Bliss of Pleasure and Pain
No Mind is the Home of the Wisdom Mother
Only As Her can we Swallow the Universe - Our own Self
Here in the Sweet and Perfect Darkness of Unknowing
