behind the Curtain

returnin' from Sojournin'

behind the Curtain

and peelin' back

those impenetrable corners

between Time imminent

and Time immemorial

and reelin' in

the years former

and fears infernal

and seein' dear

Beloveds who once

mastered their destinies

now being mastered

by Life's simplicities

hurtin' and uncertain

astonishing accomplishments

which emerged

from Cosmic confidence

now distant memories

benignly blurred

by infuriating incontinence

articulately artistic eloquence

once as Natural

as Water Flowing

through endless days

and Wonder Showing

in endless rays

despairingly deterred

by cranial complexities

and inevitable mortalities

(Now or Whenever

the Piper Plays)

tired and perspired

groveling and grunting

through perpetual pains

yet inspired by

the Radiant Resilience

and Extraordinary Courage 

during and emerging

through Ordinary Motions

and defiant Devotions

shoveling sludgy Soil

over rudimental Remains

flinging ailing limbs

whilst singing Eternal

and Revelational Hymns

juxtaposing the Sacred

and the Profane

the Mysteriously Mystical

and the Mundane

supposing them One

and the Same

Dust and Stardust

Dirt and Divinity

boring patiently through

the Essentially Elemental

whilst soaring through

an Incandescent Infinity

and hurtling through

the Illuminating Darkness

of limitless Space

and remembering how

the Temporal and

the Eternal converge

in the Incarnal

and how Death

is a Passageway

to Life Unimaginable 

and how Mysteries

hidden in histories

(personal and collective)

can be revealed

as a Source

from which wounds

(sublimely incurred

and Divinely endured

behind the Curtain)

can be Healed...

Thanks.
