Grass Fairies
A poem on ‘dissolving into being’
Grass fairies float, they never fly
Uplift the soul of one who wonders
Summer soft and angel bright
Free from ending, free from life
Landing in the heart of I
Sinking back to love again
Again it seems yet never so
This loving presence is our home
Forgive this clumsy language
For giving names to the nameless face
I forsake Myself with every word
Yet with every word, I see His face
Silence is the only teacher
Words alike it’s only students
We try to paint the paint-less art
Over an open, empty, perfect picture
Neither one nor ever two
Not what we can Truly know
Yet knowing is our very nature
The only one that ever knows
Because this knowing is all that’s known
We know only what we’ve ever known
The faceless face that lives in objects
And the presence of the one who knows
