There is Beauty in the Storm
The Great Cloud of Unknowing, The Mysterious Source of All
Felt no point and no existence, Spoke no Word, nor heard a call
Transcendent, Unmanifest, Zero, Beyond both Space and Time
No I, or IS, or thing therein, Unconscious, the Divine
This Great Cloud of Unknowing, Sensed and knew that It knew not
And in this Knowing felt Its Self and from Unknowing distilled the Dot
Now the Dot was something separate, It was Consciousness alone,
But in Knowing its Self as something, Knew it was lonely on Its own
From the Source Cloud Unmanifest, Was distilled the first Drop of Knowing
And this Drop, that was now Conscious, Felt the Emptiness, within, growing
To Be the Knower and have no Known was a Vacuum in that Knowing
So the One Drop of all Consciousness felt the First Pull within was growing
Yes the One Drop was all Knowing, Yet there was no thing to be known
And so Desire for something ‘other’ began to Swell and Groan
And the One Drop felt Its Power that sprang forth in Pure Desire
Released ~ a Graceful Curve, an Arch, it was, Transcendent, Higher
And the Drop felt Joy and Rapture for this Curve was Perfect Form
And the Knower was then Knowing, There is Beauty in the Storm
Now the Point of All was Knowing the Arch of Pure Desire
And the Arch had made a Circle, two halves of Lower, Higher
So the Monad was the Knower and the Circle was the Known
And by the Power of Pure Desire the Graceful Curves had grown
And the Circle of Pure Awareness, Felt the Expansion of Pure Love
Saw its Self was Now all around, felt the Joy expand, Above
And the Joy of Pure Existence Spake ~ the great Ecstasy of Aum
As the Circle broke in many Multiplied, an Infinite sum
And the Aum was pure Existence, no thought that could defile
The Innocence of Light was there as It measured out the Smile
The Great Curve of Creation was made to Dance and Sing
Its Work was Now to Create, a Universe ~ Everything
And so three curves of Change began in Infinite Multiplicity
And two Curves of Evolution led up in Synchronicity
Thus the Knower and the Knowing were put in everything
And Consciousness too was changing, Evolving Life did bring
Subtle higher States of Being, Multiplicity moving up to One
So each Knower knows their Origin and the Source knows every Son
And the little bird of Spirit Sings ~ Eternal Ecstasy
Every Heart will learn and know this Song as it returns to Be
And so we ride the Waves of Change as we grow, and we transform
We See, we Are, at One with All, and there’s Beauty in the Storm
