At the Center is the Void
cosmic truths given birth
Long-forgotten ways of knowing truth
ancient teachings are sung by the feathered
four-legged and two-spirited alike,
watery whistling tunes whispering souls
of a darkened abyss deep beneath the sea.
Humbled hearts receiving gifts freely-shared
for the people of once before and many more,
healing stroke has given breath ancestral touch
not within the light or dark, voided or filled.
From the beginning before the beginning
to the very end of conscious sight unseen
alone, afraid, hopeless, together, brave, auspicious.
Out of deep, far from distant galaxies, star-bearing gifts
Sacred space, inner verity, deep-seated truths
deep emptiness, filled with visionary form
always and forever at the center is the void.
