To sustaining tones, the material
world draws a trail in smooth loops
from a bottle hanging askew
on its navel string and running
empty over the blue rug
of awareness
of all who are there
A pendulum thought
More and more light shines
through the bottle and the wind
in our senses
wipes out the patterns
we have repeated
into a magical eight
of insight into the infinite
course of our lives
