Note: Due to a large number of poems posted by knowingunknown, it has been decided to consolidate most of the poems into one topic in order to bring balance the topic list. Future poems posted, if any, will be posted as replies here. Feel free to post your thoughts here also. This consolidation of postings does not represent an endorsement of the writings or teachings of knowingunknown. It has been done for administrative purposes only. As always, the usefulness of the information is for you to decide.
--------------------------------
This IS
How does one speak of the Unspeakable?
How does one describe the Indescribable?
How does one point to Everywhere?
How does one reveal Empty Radiance?
There is nothing to say.
There is nothing to describe.
There is no here nor there.
There is no-thing.
The unanswerable Answer to the empty question.
The Nondescript which all emerges from.
The Single Point of All directions.
The Immutable Immovable Suchness of all that is seen.
Without thought, word or action This Is.
Without form, content or purpose This Is.
Without origin or destination This Is.
Without cause or opposite This Is.
Empty words that fall within Emptiness Itself.
Images painted without hand, brush or canvas.
Directionless directions that lead to No-Where.
Answers to Itself from questions of Itself within Itself.
Your words have no meaning.
Your descriptions are mind’s imaginations.
Every Point is the Center.
The questions arise within the Answer.
There is nothing to run from.
There is nowhere to run to.
There is nothing to become.
There is nothing to unbecome.
This IS before words.
This IS before description.
This IS before space and time.
This IS.

The Heart
The Beloved asked,
"Why do you weep?
The lover responded,
"I long to fill my heart with you."
The Beloved answered,
"I AM your heart."

Discovery
Once I dreamt of greatness and glory
Salvation from the wrongs thrust upon me
Revenge for the wounds inflicted upon me
Admiration for the resolve that was maintained
To my knees I fell
As those wrongs were shown in light
And those wounds cut open anew
The resolve shown to be fear
As I lay naked
Bare and afraid
I begged for mercy
"Why do you leave me this way!?"
And Life sweetly answered
"The stars, Ever Present, were your companions,
not apart from your search, but one with it.
Yet you saw only dark space and grasped loneliness."
"The sun, Always Shining, was your light,
illuminating all there was to see.
Yet you saw only the shadows and believed them to be real."
"The river, Constantly Flowing, showed the way,
steadily streaming towards the end of your walk.
Yet you saw only your tired feet and declared they were lost."
"You wept that you were alone, cold and lost.
Yet the stars were always with you,
the sun embraced you with its rays,
and the river continually flowed."
"All of these offerings and gifts, constantly given, reside in Me.
I am the stars, the sun and the stream. I am the One that gives
these to you. Though you believe you walk alone, you walk in Me."
"At the end of this Journey, as you lie naked, I will give no
coverings to you.
Instead, you will soar amongst the Stars, melt into the Sun and
drown within the Waters.
And you will be what you have Always Been;"
"The One that contains it All."

Be Still
Past memories
Are repeat thoughts
Held to be real
Future dreams
Are projected ideas
Of something beyond
But the Eternal Now
Carries neither
Yet contains both
Sweet beings
Your Nature is Eternal
Beyond what you believe
Eternal to be
This past which haunts you
Has long since died
In the Silent Stillness of the Real
This future which carries you away
Will never be caught
But rests in the Eternal Now
Here Now
Eternity Reigns
Without yesterday
And free from tomorrow
Eternally whispering
Freedom
Peace
Life
Is what IS
Be Still
So the Silence of Now
Can Reveal
Eternity

Come Here
I sailed away to heaven
On this ship of yesterday
Towards the island of tomorrow
Steadily drifting in the mist of today
The sun sang my name
And the moon danced to the rhythm
That this heart beats
For what reason I do not know
In this secret place
I am all galaxies blazing bright
The eyes of all creatures
And the One Heart that appears as many
There is nothing I am not
There is nothing I do not know
Empty, I am nothing
Vast, there is nothing to know
Swaddled in Brilliance
Burning in Love
I have burst into a million pieces
Dissolving into everywhere
My hand reaches for another
To bring them to this place
Only to come upon myself
I, the One who reaches, and the One whom is reached
Come to me
Where you keep yourself hidden
And be
What you have always been
