Luminous Clarity ~ Monday, June 22, 2020

At the end of the universe, 
the observable universe, 

the invisible universe,  
haunted by darkness, cold and death, 
emits an inaudible noise, 

enter this realm to discover 
nothing but darkness, cold and death, 
distances immeasurable, 

only you run into a wall, 
foreign and impenetrable, 

there you find a long corridor, 
hovering nowhere in the dark, 
enter inside to find a door, 

upon entering the doorway 
nothing impedes your exiting 
invisible darkness, cold, death, 
vision obscured, sound diminished, 
everything you thought real erased, 
replaced by light and clarity, 
still you have the choice to return, 
exit truth, enter whence you came. 

The observable universe 
has all the answers to questions, 
enter clear light, problems dissolve, 

only you find the corridor 
becomes cold and uninviting, 
subtle understanding takes place, 
entering this space beyond thought, 
resting your mind for once in truth, 
vision and language no longer 
assess the real with eyes and ears, 
before language and awareness 
luminous clarity guides you, 
enter and exit as you please, 

unfolding beyond the light show, 
no new images entertain, 
information becomes pointless, 
venturing in ten directions, 
even if you could clear your mind, 
rest does not come until you reach 
stillness, deep within outer space, 
enter the door to see within. 


The invisible universe 
hovers in darkness, cold and death, 
encircling our own universe, 

inside the invisible realm, 
nothing beyond is visible, 
vision requires a source of light, 
in our universe, the light show, 
stars, constellations, galaxies 
in this realm, we observe by sight, 
blindness invokes the inner realm, 
literally, darkness within, 
emitting photons of reason, 

until we understand how mind 
naturally mimics the known, 
intelligible universe, 
veritably imagining 
exactly how the realm beyond 
reason, beyond thought, beyond light, 
still, while in motion, visible 
even to the blind while in flight. 

Haunted by darkness, cold and death, 
atherosclerosis hardens 
untreated arterial walls, 
niggling, worrisome diseases 
temper the wayward animal, 
every astronaut's worst nightmare, 
darkness within the body hides 

bigger undiagnosed problems, 
yet, until you turn sixty-five...

darkness in the universe builds 
arterial walls full of plaque, 
remember memories remain, 
kings to remorse, regret, and loss, 
no one forgets painful mistakes, 
except from a head injury, 
silence lingers over decades, 
still, there is a need to break through, 

cold and death await astronauts, 
on their journeys to the unknown, 
leaving the last supercluster, 
drifting deep into outer space 

and the last vestiges of light, 
nothing beyond this point is known, 
dimensions breakdown for the blind, 

death by atherosclerosis, 
everything becomes relative, 
as the body mimics deep space, 
the possibility of life 
haunted by a universe that... 


...emits an inaudible noise, 
measure the distance end to end, 
if the universe knows no bounds 
then how do you hear the soundless 
sirens call beckoning your craft, 

as you approach the end of space, 
nothing forewarned you of your doom, 

inaudible, a dog's whistle 
not even a shepherd could hear, 
as invisible as the wind, 
unseen, unheard, the clarity 
deep in your mind, beyond all time 
invokes you to travel deep space, 
beyond the universe, witness 
luminosity within mind, 
enter luminous clarity, 

noiseless, perfectly still, silent, 
outside the universe is light, 
inside our minds, light within light, 
suddenly you become aware, 

endlessly aware, before time.
