I AM

Themes
  Bliss
  Death
  Heart
  Light
  Silence

 

I am not bliss.
Become bliss and see its limits.
Eternity is of time.
I AM.
Whatever you are, you also are not.
I AM.
The path is in the Light, which looks like death.
Become beautiful, powerful, all attributes,
And despair.
The heart of everything is Silence
Calling you to founder on shoals
And to sink, stripped of your command.
You are more and less than you can imagine.
Be pulled into that uncrossable canyon.
