Peppertree

The jewel apparent

Mind perceives shed

You broke before you bent

That was disease.

Now we sway as Peppertree boughs

I cannot tell you how many times

I have been here with you

And what forever means to your form

Ravindra says forever is a long time

Our moon shines diffuse and calm

Translucent guests

Rest, winged descendent

For here is the sigh you long for

As I am you,

Qualities unimpeded by personality

Belie resolution and the completion

And I am most certain death

Caught. Rock fist. Down. Out. Cut.

Gate opens, pocket flash-empties

I finish what I begin

Without distraction

It is purified and dissolved in her great ocean of light

None extraordinary

Amiss you are doling out arbitrary titles

Fabrications fuel mind

This immediacy will carry you ‘cross the threshold

Pathways long sheathed with fire

The perils of form

As in your common dream will be seen not felt

Remain steadfast in your knowing

Without strain the way is clear

Do not be moved by the array

Your breath here informs the seemingness after

Let me teach you how not to anticipate

There is no predetermined outcome

Prarabdha carries on

You have waited an eternity for me

Do not throw it all away for that bundle, that tangle

That tangled bundle of a notion

Let me do the breathing

Keep your attention soft when you feel alone

Being not two

With a mustard seed of a call

You remember a hairsbreadth is still illusion

It is safe to be this close to me

And behold the echo of self fading

You will soon live only as me

The language of your navigation is true

You need not doubt this
