Empty a vessel
The reduction of time
Cold bathwater cleanse
A little boy with three brothers
Fragmented images
An imaginary life
Reality beyond material
Everything good
A dog napping
Suspended senses
No more
A jester pretends
No lingering
Arise
Lifted awake
Flight taken within
Lonely lowly child
Wings and a prayer
A mature adult
Words swallowed
Swollen
Weary and worn
Strong yet sore
Profusely sweating
Eyes bleeding tears
Detached from the stain
Amidst weeds
A flower blossoms
Withers and fades
A shadow ladder calls
Amongst erased visions
Deprivation
Deep into the night
Bare handed
Touching rungs
Lifting a foot
Sandals strapped
Guided while blind
Feeling
Ascending attuned
Beyond pain and pleasure
A darker darkness descends
Going out from one point
Darkness alone
No light
Not even the moon
Nor stars
Detached
Unemotionally holding
Grasping
Knowing
Faith
Hope
Charity
A calmness steadfast
Practiced prayer pacing
Habitual
Fortitude engaged
Infused and installed
Holy Spirit alights
Disposition conquers fear
Stillness vanquishes flight
Obedience defeats obstinacy
Impeding roots overpowered
Pulled out
Spewing puss
Breathing holds to life
Abandonment on into trust
Eyes closed
Seeing with one eye
Will reposed
Acquiesced
Mind open and aware
Centered in the heart
Listen to the heartbeat
So close
Right next to me
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Immaculate Heart of Mary
Everything that rises must converge
Intertwining and twisting
All things and many
Many many things
Grand immense ideas
Details and distinctions disappear
Everything coalescing
Blending and mending
A roughly woven tapestry
A mighty wind
A whistling chorus
Passing by
Resounding thunder
A roar
Furthering forward
White cold scorching fire
Burning from inside
Brilliant flashes of lightening
Coming and going
Appearing and disappearing
Seen and unseen
Silhouettes and forms
Marking time
A void
A vortex sucking in
A vast light
Blinding bright
Movement of the massless
The knowing of the unknown
Vagueness enough
Not needing
Lacking desire
A mystery multiplied
Over and above
A love
Hovers
One
Whispering with a soft voice
Mercy and forgiveness
Tension assuaged
Joy satiates
It’s ok
You can cry
