From and To the Hive

*
You may remember,
You might not,
That space, that time,
That oceanic oneness
In which you were,
Of which you are;
The boundless, 
The formless;
Innumerable specs
Humming and shimmering,
No 'you', no 'I', just being
In the hive,
Not yet...


...Then born, then form,
Now shape, now bound,
To 'I', to 'You'...


Before you leave again,
Lend your ear to the faint echo of the hive whence you sprung;
Hear how this one form of yours is a hive to the hive;
Know that you are one, and you are myriad,
And you are the whole, and you are nothing.


And aware of this, aware of 'it',
Alert, always alert,
Your ear within attuned to the original hum,
Your inner eye captive of the holy shimmer,
Let's weave from and to the hive,
Birthless.
Deathless.
