I have everything I seek …in this waiting!: A poem 

I am waiting…like in a dream 

as if waiting is all the dream has to offer 

like waiting is the subject of waiting itself 

like there is meaning and purpose in its sustaining 

And the woodwork becomes the substance of such purpose 

that like a light sworn to secrecy, despite my anguished whispers,  

becomes a meeting – of objective and subjective patience 

A doorway, a portal, and a dimension becoming apparent 

without its stone and concrete life, but a Lego of the dream 

that makes imagination and aspiration sublimely surreal 

in a sudden corporeality that manifests every time it needs to! 

This waiting, is like the spirit of God, 

who alone waits interminably and eternally 

for the orchard to grow outside his window 

fully knowing the orchard is already rooted in the imagination of his soul 

I tell the stones how real a life is 

that speaks from the cores of the alleyways of memory 

Then Mum is beside me, Dad is beside me 

My pets are beside me, True Love is imminent in her immanence(!) 

and every leaf of my ancestry! 

That I begin to realise the vastness of my soul 

in the intricate labyrinth of its embodiment 

through the ages, where all that matters 

is the knowledge that you have always had, in your patient waiting, 

the fruit out of your tribulations that you were so painstakingly pursuing! 

That there is no treachery that can sabotage you anymore 

The treachery itself is its own saboteur!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
