revelations

the place of too much insistence asks
what is the reason for such longing?
the place of knowing replies
to understand that you are here.
the place of too much knowing asks
what is the need for unbearable existence?
the place of wisdom replies
to discover what really is.
the place of too much wisdom asks
what is the purpose in this obliterating pain?
the place of compassion replies
always there is purpose in love.
the place of too much compassion asks
what is the terrifying promise held by death?
the place without a name replies
what would you give for the secret pleasure of being born?


never what you expect how you expect it or where you expect it to be
yet-
still it is there
