First Meditation
by Rob LittlerI have yet to meet myself
Neither coming nor going, feeling not-feeling--
As if time has stopped. Really,
I circle that moment, Yeat's falcon perpetually
Turning in an ever-widening
Gyre, eyeing the pinpoint at an altitude
The deepest breath can not assuage.
There is a place beyond this making
More akin to slumber, so awake
So as to appear as if under
Some catatonic stare.
I have seen it, those Saintly beings
Who are both one and many, who
Can be both night and day,
Who transcend while planted--
So wise that they
Choose to have nothing
