Poems revealed in the silence

Refractions

Once you recognise
all “knowable” reference points
as transient, illusory,

you rest—simply—
in this moment of creation:
the ever-new present,
presence itself.

No sense of arrival.
Journey and destination
dissolve with all other markers.

There is only THIS:
each moment, infinite possibility
emerging from the unknown
into recognition.

And when you re-enter the world
with its roles and responsibilities,
you hold them lightly, let them go
as they complete their arc—

knowing the deep truth:
the potentials of this moment
are untouched by what passes.

You remain open to infinity,
even as you act
within limitation.
