THE INDIVISIBLE DUALITY OF BEING
“Wisdom tells me I am nothing, love tells me I am everything.
Between the two, my life flows.”
― Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

YAKURO – VOICES OF INFINITY
Sometimes I am good; sometimes I'm not
there is more than one side to us all
more than one version of the truth
more than one way in which we all can fall
I cannot divide my from self
me myself and I; we are all here
hidden beneath the mask I wear
the silvered battle scars still shine
my face a blank canvas does not show how much I care
does not show anything in fact
no lines; no frown and even more strange and rare
sometimes I smile
my face lights up like the sun
my blue eyes sparkle with diamonds expertly cut;
my golden hair upswept in untidy bun
I am a spirit of the sea
a mermaid gasping for air on land
grasping for the knowledge that I found
that I evolved from the most loving hand
a little dragon escapes from me
traces the pattern of my clothes
mimics the most vivid true colours of me
scattering rainbows on those below
I carry the heaviest and deepest sorrow
it weighs me down; rolls with me far into tomorrow
catches my breath and stills my words
the silence falls down like the night; the birds
sing only before the dawn and then
they too fall silent and let the rain
beat down on me and invariably I feel the pain
rise upwards in my beating chest
it will not leave me; I cannot rest
voices of infinity reach me
hold me spellbound in bitter sweet embrace
back to back I face myself
through a glass darkly; interwoven; interlaced
they leave their mark without a trace
carry me to a mournful place
beneath the forest canopy
lay me down between the lumber
steeped in dreams; deep in slumber
there I lie and there I'm found
my bones; my blood seeped into family tree roots underground
no-one to weep except the angels
no-one to mourn the loss of me
I am long gone to where no amount of sorrow
can reach me now; I am what we all inevitably will become
I am where there is nothing left and no tomorrow.
