Shadow Dance
Poetry by Gill Schwartz


DIVINE OBLIVION
(Exegesis on the Gospel of Mary)

The Lord said, "One does not grasp this with the mind
nor with the soul, but only through the Knowing
which embraces the two.

"All is passing, is being scattered away,
both the earthly and the heavenly,
naught to remain but the Void that contains.

"In the world, I was released from the world,
and, in my role there, I fulfilled my heavenly purpose
and cast off the fetters of the eons which are passing.

"My desire was quenched and my ignorance died.
What surrounded me has been overcome,
and what had bound me has been slain.

"Creator God gratefully returns to the stillness of Source,
and the All that has been will be no more,
from this time, through all timelessness.

"I reverently rest in the ecstatic silence of Divine Oblivion.
This is the Treasure I overcame
all things to obtain."
