It is so 

tantalizingly close

this mystery

I can feel it inside,

It is in my mind

And my heart.

I can feel it in 

the air.

Death brings it

even closer.

Birth sings its praises.

It is

Everywhere.

And I know

If I can only

touch it,

I will be saved.

What a puzzle;

It already touches me;

But  I can’t touch it.

Maybe,if I let go 

of my desire,

It will take 

me in.
