TO CELEBRATE NOT
EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY

And I heard a voice
a silvery voice wrapped
in secrets of red and purple

telling me to go deep, deep inside myself
deep to the deepest part where the light lay
in the center of the darkness

that it would be here
I would find the celebration
Of who I am, why I exist,
where I come from and where I am going

and in this celebration I would find
the explanation that requires no knowing
the answer that requires no questioning

and then I would understand
and then I would not understand
and then it would not matter.
