Presence

There is only Presence

a rich oneness

which is our identity

 standing and witnessing

and creating of itself 

life's many separations..

Paths of separation

of resisting and seeking

seem to veil our identity

allowing only brief tastes

of the Presence we crave

and words fail to disclose..

But the thrills on life's paths

present a window

which when cleansed

illumines our way home...
