I, Me and Other
Poetry by Gill Schwartz
TRIANGLES OF LIGHT
A Tantric Devotion
We sit together, face to face in meditation,
preparing for our lovemaking.
Enticing passion and soul-yearning merge.
At once, I am aware of this day-to-day self
as but the thin edge of a huge triangle of luminosity
that is my true Self. In the corners of my near over-awed
consciusness are glimmerings, awareness of a multitude of realms,
dimensions, levels of being, pasts and futures
that make up the wholeness of my Self.
Then we join hands in our crossed-wrists, eternity gesture.
Now, at once, I'm aware of and also sense her immense triangle
of luminous being, expansive and rich as my own,
but of her own unique savor and vibration.
Soul-pleasure swells to fill me as we join
and our triangles of light merge.
