i came upon God accidentally
like learning a new language
upon connection, i came
into the unknown and stayed
without knowing, rising
beyond the science of silence
i did not know where
the door was to leave or enter
this brilliant house
it’s a perfect realm of calm
and a deepest release into solitude
that is a peace, a stunned
and stammering quietude
i was given a narrow way
to enter fields of light
rising beyond all science
i carried my evolution
for inside the confines of experience
until I was dazed and liberated
revealing my own intimacy with God
in splendor of my five senses
my mind found a potter’s home
a carpentry of my soul’s workshop
to work with my hands
for something divine
and know creation intimately
like a poet who never sleeps
holiness is not a place or a person
it is a language, the unity
behind all thought, all will, all hope
this is knowledge, by unknowing
and solace, without fighting
this is a blazing height of all remedies
when knowing and doing is insufficient
and feeling surrenders in the dark
to the most holy Being and freedom
which can only be translated into
ecstatic feeling, that is God to me.
