OM Rider
(in 484 words)
there were five of them
...1...2...3...4...5
lined up straight
...about 3 feet apart
five doors - all painted
sunny day cloud white,
wet inner lip red,
18 foot tall cypress green,
lake titicaca in the fall blue,
back of the cave black
the doors captivated me
i stood erect
my eyes went from west to east
viewing each of the 5 doors
long, paused moments at each
could i feel something
---on the other side?
i waited....and waited....
time came to a halt
i could feel the l-e-d's sigh
the light sputtered shadows
both on myself & the 5 doors
sometime later --- they opened
what a sight! my heart flowered
i could not feel my knees
my hands were at my side
but i could only see them
the 5 doors slowly began closing
---simultaneously---
until they stopped...
i wondered for quite some time
(when will the final 3 inches shut)
as soon as i finished the thought
my eyes went white
my touch went red
my taste went green
my smell went blue
my hearing was black
each one of my senses entered
the now fully opened doors
bip! phooooshhhhhh....
my eyes floated - balloons
over a stilled lake -
a cloud cruisin' the breeze
i saw mother earth
tears flooding the valleys
running quickly to the ocean
i saw her jerk - splitting herself
boulders falling off mountains
crushing suburbs & transportation
tear gassing her until - coughh!
i tasted the forests
smooth desert sands
across miles of meadows
tree covered mountains
when all i wanted was a kiss
to embrace with my taste
the beauty of life - licked all over
to taste the virgin rain forests
to taste the clear waters
to taste a clean rain falling
my breath inhaled the air
thousands of frangrances sucked deep
my lungs filling up - intoxicating...
exhaling so slowly into the cosmos
i smelled the oceans - tides rising
the shores of a billion universes
submitting to the power of the blue waters
blissfullness overcame - i smelled the earth
soil built out of vegetation no longer
the earth consuming the byproducts of life
to form but yet another life - alive
eating...eliminating...thriving.....
i could not hear anything
silence....but it was a sound....
more like a humm...ummm....ommmm..
yes, that was it...om
i sensed being outside the doors
they fell away - disengaged
fading....fading.... fading...
the sea absoring them
a dark rich blackness all over
no fears - no feelings - no thing
i was conscious , fully conscious
at first a small pinhole of light
approaching.... larger now....
pure white light
oh holy white light
at one with the eternal
no thing - all thing
knowing all - knowing nothing
alpha - omega
beginning - end
yin - yang
one light - one magnificent
Great Holy White Light!
but so much more
so...much...more
much...
more
..
precious life
life forever
neverending
