THE ABIDING
‘Where did you go? ‘
We call out ----
At the passing of a dear one.
I can’t see you!
Unbounded silence,
stillness follows
I wanted to make visible
that which lies
beyond comprehension.
No Love, no Friend lost
Mind has
image vocabulary
essences
of this world
Reading the Words of Baha
I translate to images
Seeking realities
The Luminous state of being,
that lies beyond…
My mind cannot envision
I believe that you
see me,
hear me.
I am wrapped in
this womb world
limited perception
see visions,
dreams
Mother’s hands
loving, warming
the unborn child
It is the same
They are abiding with us
