the revelation

He thought he saw it!
It was that fleeting moment
of revelatory bliss
when the universe opened
in his mind and he saw,
perhaps for the first time
the beauty of being one.

She was he in her form.
another expression in the sublime
union of all.
When she saw it, it became so clear.
No separation. No distance. No time.
Looking into his eyes she saw herself.

He was her in his form.
Thus expanding the horizon to….
to the infinite intimacy
ablaze in his brain.
The fire of compassion
thus lit cannot be extinguished
since it is the nature of being.

She, one with he
saw them all standing there
in the street and they marveled in wonder
as all space collapsed into itself
till all that was left
was the warm glow of
emptiness.
