Transendance





 swirling, whirling

                       lights

                            flashing

                       green, blue

                         colors, dark

                                 white, light

                      voices whisper

                                  shout!

                   Hang on!  Hold tightly!

                          I cling

                        grasping my 

                          time-space-place

                        like a child

                         clinging to

                    the upright strut on a

                  playground - merrygoround

                     and watch the others

                        clinging too

                    with arms & legs

                mouths laughing & grinning & shouting

                                     under fear lit eyes

                   Hold on!  Tightly!

               Hang on, dear ! mother says

               Hold tightly, son! father says

                      flashing swirls

                                 white

                                   bright

                                     light

                                    dark

                                  soft
