Oh! How Happy am I !

Oh! How happy I am!

No more thrashing
And bashing about.

Jumping and leaping.

Overjoyed.

Having finally succeeded
In throwing this useless
Brain in the trash.

Ecstasy !

To know nothing
Is to be everything.

In this space
The Wise Heart has already
Flung all the doors open.
All that was once hidden
Is as a freshly woven tapestry
Hanging brightly in the sun.

Not some exclusive club.
All are welcome here.
Membership is free.
Simply toss your brain
In the container provided.
(you really won't miss it)

Will you walk through the open door?

The last 12 months have been the hardest of my life. The lightening quick ending of a 26 year marriage, partnership and friendship. The loss of my best friend of 30 years and the loss of other close friends. I am a poet and writer. Writing helps me move through both the joys and the fears and the pain with swifter and more useful degrees of grace and wisdom. Right now life is challenging, so the poetry reflects that. FYI Be in joy, in all ways! ~william
