Gut Check on a Clear Day

People of the invisible: rejoice 
We are here now together
In this white sun
That burns away the ages of grief

Of trying to see what is not visible 
And trying to fit what is seen 
To what we know but are
Scarcely aware we can remember.

All the knowing is in there 
Along the sun lit fields,
The tinted mountains,
Hanging from pineal trees,

And we can leave it there,
Trusting its existence as our own
Or we can claw
At what loosens with effort, the residue

Of what's no longer in us,
What the filters let us see
And the critics make whole,
What once sufficed, as our being

That shines behind the sun
And seemed to be much more.
It exists, my friends, outside
Our narrow, where what is further 

Awaits our gaze: the fruits 
Of equilibrium, the silence without noise, 
The holding of our beings
For as far of infinity as we can go.
