NO WAY TO DESCRIBE YOU

 

My Divine Mother is there no way to describe you?

 

If we say you have no form

    you seem distant and far away

      as though our hands and fingers

        were clutching at empty air

 

Yet you are more solid than the Rocky Mountains

    closer than a lover's warm embrace

        and fuller than the radiance of the morning sun

 

If we imagine that you are a form - this thing or that thing

    we become blinded

        as though looking through a long hollow tube

            seeing only one thing at a time

                and missing your grand totality

 

All these forms are you

    coming and going

        like tumbleweeds

        that drift endlessly

        across the windswept prairie

 

You are closer than the air that fills our breath

    yet these words fall

    like leaves from an autumn tree

      and utterly fail to clothe your naked being
