Always `You`

I remember walking up the steep hill

To High Barnet

The busy road, the houses and clinic on my left

The railway line entering the station

On my right;

And I suddenly shrunk

As the boundaries of Earth and Universe

Disappeared;

The smaller than a dot me

Became smaller,

And I felt my aloneness;

That was before, many years before

You made me aware

Of always `You`;

And now it’s hard to be alone

When you’re the silent voice

In heart and mind.

We can try to follow a movement

As if all was on the outside

But you’re reframed in our paradigm

And you can only emerge through the filter

Of our souls;

Yet in the stillness

And when we are still;

In the silence that we have to make for ourselves

The soft music, first faint

Will be heard;

And Your true nature

Not the many faceted shapes created by the souls of billions,

But Your true nature to me

Can be worshiped finally

In union,

And as `Other`.
