Unseen Weaver - Cosmic Vision    5/31/2011 10:30:15 AM

2. Cosmic Vision

Imagine a tapestry of precious stones,
Diamond, topaz, ruby, tourmaline,
Sapphire, emerald, all cluster in between,
Ornamenting heaven with their rainbow tones.
Each reflected lustre each appears to own,
In harmony from galaxy to gene,
Inter-related, an ethereal scene
Enjoyed by Consciousness, One and all alone.
Uncaused, spontaneous, without an end,
Infinite jewels arise; gems of dust
Illuminated, mirroring as they must
The dance of cosmic music God did send.
All things dissolving to no Thing at all
Rhythms of the spheres pulsate and fall.

1. Unseen Weaver


Here stands a giant loom of Time in duration,
It is born of Infinity from a whole consummation
With Life, which has ever been void of time.
The sun and moon as shuttle upward climb

By playing, weaving to and fro as night and day,
A splendid pageant of coloured display.
All strung on warp and weft of cosmic unity,
The back of this vast embroidered tapestry

Is monochrome, derived from the formless One.
The face is multihued and radiant as Sun,
Its tones reflected from archetypal light
Unabsorbed, are an unequalled sight.

 

Only what's permitted by unseen hand
Appears as moving panorama, a horizontal band,
A magic painting of the whole wide world.
Brushed as vertical, each single thread is whirled

Without dimmest dint of dull duality
As Light, unique unto its Self. Sheer Reality!
Coated by golden fleece and white angelic wool,
It is dyed in deepest vat, destiny's darkened pool.

So does the holy cloth that's woven in Love
Quarrel with his weaver who rules from above?
Rather, wrapped in warmest cloak at rainbows end
Eternal pilgrim e'er adores his Mighty Friend.
