Sail my smiling through


Darkest light
Icy fire
Gentlest might
Infinite hour
Sail my smiling through

Flower, bud and seed
Timeless hour
Held yet freed
Gentlest power
Sail my smiling through

Both lord and lady of the cell
Living universe, which in rising, fell
Old as the sea spray
Young as the hills
Sail my smiling through

In being: the child of my son
Daughter of light
Yet I am one
Ancient newborn
created now
Power flowing
from Tara's vow
Sail my smiling through

Flesh form ranges
pleasures and pains
against the starry infinite;
Descending into
yet without.
Calm centre
The silent shout
Sail my smiling through

As mind goes out
it goes within;
as she informs
and becomes him
who's never been apart.
Disease eases into wholeness.
Lack opens into fullness.
Sail my smiling through

Vibrant stillness
Abundant emptiness
Stinging calmness
Infinite oneness
Sail my smiling through

From the depths of still centre
is the stirring.
From love's satiation
comes the call.

Action arises from the fulcrum,
for within the emptiness
is all


Helen Jandamit
