The Winds of Wonder

Richness of the Else

Oh richness of the Else within-without-above

Reached only by the flame burning in a heart

Which is like a topaz plunging into depths,

Profundity of silence untouched by the wind,

A whole magnificence of the timeless desire,

An aspiration that meets the answering Yes,

A will firm in an all-achieving awareness!

If you whiff purple fragrance that never fades,

Or outspread a dream that fills brightnesses,

Or see a statue moulded by the sunlight of joy,

You would discover thunder and storm of beauty

Getting ready to appear in this glad pond of life;

Fabulous Else in a house that needs no doors!

The scientia is, you hold that Else in the dot,

In the grain of sand, wild flower, in the symbol,

Leaving not a small inch for death to enter in.
