Have you sailed the Seven Seas of Heavens?
Slipped past the Pillars of Hercules to a land of two suns and no horizon
Watched bodies leaving forms within forms inside forms
Climbed the tower of Intuition
Visited the city of lotus blossoms and healing
Read the texts that are dancing white music
Found the fiery light in which all hate perishes
Marvelled at the leaping giants
Heard the divine waterfall?
**
Have you sailed the Seven Seas of Knowing?
Probed the instant before Creation
Past limits of mind
Voyaged beyond
Tasted the stillness deep inside
Watched the boatman ferry you across the river
Looked beyond transfinity
Dreamt dreams of other worlds?
**
Have you sailed the Seven Seas of Love?
Felt it come to you and through you
Comforted and been comforted
Been transformed by a daughter’s infinite Love
Struggled to grasp Love and clasp it
Probed its depths
Beyond all Sense and Thought
Felt it set you on fire
Known it to shake your very Being?
**
Ancient Mariner of Now, for whom I write this Rhyme, do you sail the Seven Seas?
