Corcovado Dream

Peering into the valley of my heart
It melts
Midnight clouds float
Luminously through moon glow rain
All stretches outward with completeness of being
I witness
I witness the breath
I am earth
I am music, light color, shape, taste, and texture
Singing the ancient songs of
Na
Dha
Dhin
Ti Ri Ki Ta Dha!
Guru’s awaken my talc cacked spirit
Whispering quietly its intention
Scrapping skin bark peeling
Red mud crying down the mountains of eternal stillness
Mother is here
Between the light and shadow
Between flow and stagnation
Between hugging my bones and radiating my soul
Between ego and no time
Dreams seep into being
Looping air looping Earth
Resonating to a crescendo of inner fire
Colliding with the low vibrato growl of the howler monkey’s chant
A small plastic turtle given along with this journey
Sits upon my palm from my beloved wife
Reminding me to be still and to slow with quick alertness letting go

Allowing the flow to waterfall from my eyes
Everything I have ever loved is awakened
Skipping on a tight rope above bottomless chasms
Diving into faith
Landing upon a grass runway in the middle of our ancient heart
I melt
And fade into nothingness.
