My Weird Sixties Surreal Book – Chapter 54 – Endgame poem

This was the end of Part 1. I wanted a mystical ending that linked in to the Flux from which all things are born.

If I was writing this now I would not have made the mystical so prominent. My beliefs have altered over time. I no longer subscribe to the view that there is a force that we are part of. There may be. There may not. To me it is immaterial. But I wrote this in my youth when I was all fired up with a mystical purpose to life.

But this stands as what it was. I enjoyed it. Part 2 is a short section that concludes the first book.

54.

I am the boundaries you impose

I am the unending road you walk

I am the gateway you have never found

I am the garden that lies within

You may seek me for eternity

 

I am that most men have turned from

I am the reason for all suffering

I am beyond pain and ugliness

I am the pattern of ecstasy

Without me there is civilisation

 

I am half of your schizophrenia

I am the answer to your paradox

I am forever beyond your mathematics

I am that for which there are no symbols

To me you will always return

 

I am more in the spaces than the words

I am more present in the buzz of interference

I am removed from your gadgetry

I am eradicated from your thought

You cannot escape me

 

I am misused in words and deeds

I am often scorned and ridiculed

I am beyond your pettiness

I am what your religions have lost

Greater truth than you can imagine resides with me
