Across the Universe

I am the tongue and agony of ecstasy,
I am the last syllable of joy among the crowds
I am the first smile of the new lovers in the new world,
I am the iconic grace of all that this world was, is and becomes,
I am the orchestra, the rose-garden, the splash of rain on the baby’s head,
I am the ocean’s force, pulling in the sweeping tides,
I am the movement of all time, mother-force, the kiss of life,
I am the birth of new stars, from new dust, from new black-holes,
I am the flower longing to escape the earth,
I am the music that drifts into the abyss,
I am the seed which has no more room in which to grow,
I am the spirit whose search is never-ending,
I am the last will when all separate wills have dissolved,
I am the oneness at the core of every atom, in every world,
I am the sweeping muse of each neuron of consciousness,
I am, what you would call, the infinite immortal observing soul.
