"Timelessness"



Silence

A world of silence
   screaming in the dark.
A bird of prey
   feeding her young.

Bright star, brighter moon
   hanging by a thread
   of wonder spun so carefully
   that only the creator stands
   between life and death
   of a universe so vast as to be
   unmeasurable
   by human comprehension.

"Colors" by Sharon Terry


Colors blend, one into another,
And fade into gray.

Fade not, oh brilliant colors.
Stay true to your shades and hues.
Pinks and purples, blues and greens,
Golden in the light of time.
Stay true--unwavering.

Though others may snatch them from you,
Rejuvenate, and grow in the heart
Where no colors fade, no hues grow dim.

Tune-in, to the heart level,
Growing from the inside out
With rays piercing through the soul,
Enlightening the mind.
True colors fade no longer.

©1995 Sharon Terry



Separateness

Bridled and unhurried
She entered into the night
Yielding to the reigns of her being
And listening to the heartbeat of her love,
    unsullied and penetrating.

She wrestled with time and place,
Hurling herself into space
    as if there were no tomorrow
    and no turning back.

With jet black passion
    she listened to learn,
And in that learning
    found wanton love of self,
Self so base
    as to turn the heart to stone.

Within the wisdom
    she listened and learned,
And in that learning
    found the truth of self,
The truth of love,
The truth of hate.

It was from without
    that it came.
For within lay only the
    wisdom of the ages.
There was no love there,
Really,
No hate either.
Only time lay still within her.

What was the rage
    of accomplishment?
It does not matter.
Only wondering matters,
And she did that well.

Could it all be the same,
All stemming from above,
A downflow,
An outpouring,
A separation of the same energy,
Misused, abused, twisted, turned
    this way and that?

She longed to know,
To understand,
To be aware of all that was,
    in a unified fashion,
    in time and space.

But she turned,
And knowing, she knew,
Yes,
For open within her was the window
    to timelessness,
To the "all-at-onceness"
    of no time and space.
And she trembled at the passing,
At the coming and the going
    so new to her, yet so ancient
    as to make her bones creak and
    her muscles ache
    and her spirit sag
    with the weight of the ages,
So old was she.

The passage of time
    would not be long now,
But she could no longer believe
    relief was at hand.
It would not come,
He would not come—
    the knight upon the steed.
For time and space
were closing in,
And pain - there was no end.

Hope,
Hold onto hope.
Wilderness wandering,
Will it end?

Soon!

©1992 Sharon Terry
