Poems

from

the

Indescribable

State

of

Sobriety


Majid Buell


I

We are all walking on the same path

traveling from the source to the source

some of us are traveling blind

some of us with our eyes half-closed

some of us wide-open

We all want to merge with the juice

of that which gets us in a meltdown

Each of us breathes to earth

Each of us breathes to cosmos

Each of us breathes each other

I want to push my heart

against all hearts

so I can hear

the sound of

that which

is silent!!!

II

One slow morning

while meditating

on the energetic flow

of the inner ocean

I saw you

seeing me

viewing you

and I laughed

and laughed

and LAUGHED!

III

I intertwined

with you

in the spiral dance

we call life

and we made wine

together

IV

This thing we call God/Truth

Is so different

It cannot possibly

Be contained

In words

So all I can do

Is Scream

With Ecstatic Joy

And even that is

Playing with symbols.
