Myst

All-encompassing, very alert 
a shape What is it? 
in the distance 
so close I can barely feel  
the liquidlike Superbeing of light 
coming toward me like a sequoia through velvet-- 
stretched around a curve 
helplessly filled 
with comforting awe.

Orpheus went there.  
The shamen the Baptist. Joan of Arc.  
Anonymous mystics 
most of them briefly. 
Some good 
some evil in their own right 
to touch life like the rainbow 
bridging two minds.

Most are crazy. I went there. 
At least I've been there.  
Am I crazy?
