He Said

He said: to transcend
all fear of the true meaning,
that is the only patience.

Vast guidebook
in a few short words.
Difficult endeavor
for the fearful.

All my desires, wishes,
all my mad plans, schemes,
useless.

Subjective, objective,
the panoramic view, ah,
Imagine!
Seeing each
and every moment entire,
in all its blazing glory.

Imagine!
The view above,
below, from all sides,
inside, outside.

Imagine!
All the ways this
very moment
is experienced
by each
living creature.

Imagine!
Something real,
not real,
there,
not there,

Imagine!
gazing, unfraid,
into the unknowable.
