The lens



(Note: This poem is based on the prose writing "Wide and Deep" posted on this site 1/6/09)


Let us get out
the most powerful lens

and look closely
at what is at hand

and set aside the assumptions
and patterns of our beliefs

Let us examine
in minute detail

the circumstance
of our being

the miracle of existence
that infuses all things

Let us look
so closely

that the myth of separation
falls away

as we merge
with what is before us

Let us become
the scientists

who reveal and savor
the essence of Life

eclipsing any oration
or ancient sacred text
