Finding a Way Down

Finding a way down
Twisting and turning
Orient crucial at every turn
Wait for the water to still

A mirrored pool
Thoughts already had,
A breath already taken.
The dissociation begins.

Pieces falling out of place
A calm mind essential.
No mind present
Left now right, up down, now and never.

The broken string
Dissonant promise of love.
All is lost, and never was
The ill father cries one last time.

Matching in long forgotten formation
An ancient(divine) picture revealed.
Senses regained, motivations remembered
The journey is complete.

To bask in the glow
To feel the real emanate .
Made of the essence
Macrocosm entitled Home.

To stay is only temporary
Remember your task.
Don't forget
I'll see you again.

Ripples begin to form,
Love re-recognised,
Familiar patterns discerned,
Mortality snapped into position.

Calm breath,
Look around, 1, and 2.
