Confluence by Drew Dillinger

​Confluence
 
 
let's meet
 at the confluence 
where you flow into me 
and one breath
swirls between our lungs
for one instant to dwell in the presence of the galaxies 
for one instant
to live in the truth of the heart
the poet says this entire traveling cosmos is
"the secret One slowly growing a body"
two eagles are mating--
clasping each other's claws
and turning cartwheels in the sky
grasses are blooming
grandfathers dying
consciousness blinking on and off
all of this is happening at once
all of this, vibrating into existence
out of nothingness
every particle 
foaming into existence 
transcribing the ineffable
arising and passing away 
arising and passing away
 23 trillion times per second--
when Buddha saw that,
he smiled
16 million tons of rain are falling every second
 on the planet
 an ocean
 perpetually falling 
and every drop 
is your body
 every motion, every feather, every thought
is your body
time
is your body,
and the infinite
curled inside like
invisible rainbows folded into light
every word of every tongue is love telling a story to her own ears
every word of every tongue is love telling a story to her own ears
 
let our lives be incense burning like a hymn to the sacred body of the universe.
 
my religion is rain
my religion is stone
my religion reveals itself to me in sweaty epiphanies
 
every leaf, every river, every animal, your body
every creature trapped in the gears of corporate nightmares
every species made extinct was once your body
 
10 million people are dreaming that they’re flying
junipers and violets are blossoming
stars exploding and being born
God is having déjà vu
I am one elaborate crush
we cry petals as the void is singing
 
you are the dark that holds the stars
in intimate distance
that spun the whirling whirling, world
into existence
 
let’s meet at the confluence
where you flow into me
and one breath
swirls between our lungs

Thus should you look upon this changing world  Buddha

​Thus should you look upon this changing world.
All component things are impermanent. 
All component things are subject to dissolution.
See all of this world 
As a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,
A flash of lightening in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom and a dream
 
Buddha
