Wednesday 12/3 - SLEEP
COME SOFTLY WITH ME
On that brink - that borderland called sleep
Sense the swaying sweep round the tunnel's edge
Now mind's eye open, yet lids shuttered
Feel the folds and furrows of your fingertips
Now, slowly roll, gently press, delicate contact
There! - It's there! - Tiny, small, warm. Feel it?
Like a baby's cheek, a lover's smile, a tender stroke
Soft, smooth, silky to touch
It seems in the tips like a seed
A delicate pearl of a pebble - a mustard seed
And where are you?
All that's left is the simple, glowing sphere
Watch yourself enswirl
Your head down one with neck
Your feet up one with knees
Flow with it
Your neck with chest
Your knees with hips
Be a fluid stream
Your chest and hips collapse in and down and round
Into source with all luminous lights
To a seed - enshelled one with all
