Searching for Sophia

QUESTION:
I had an idea
that fleeted by
it left itself
in my memory
like a rainbow left in the sky
A tree could be
a symbol of Thee
and all that I perceive
with my organs of sense
are like that tree
I walk among the symbols
daily among the stars
envisionong galaxies
and space
capillaries and waste
You alone are the Living Entity
The only One who lives and breathes
while cannot see the Forest
for the trees
Symbols, I wonder, don’t really exist
so why on earth
did You show them to me?
REPLY:
Can I speak to you,
little girl, confidentially?
For your consciousness mirrors Mine
I thought and there you were
albeit, after a billion years of time
What amuses Me, little girl,
is that you thought
and here am I
QUESTION:
The symbols, Sir, are still curious to me
a tree is not a tree
its atoms are but vibrations
frozen by Thee
and yet there are other symbols
in my mind that come free
as visions and smells
and words heard only by me
and dreams and other
mental anomalies
and thoughts and painful
suffering
Is this mind but a receptacle
for symbols of Thee?
REPLY:
This mind mirrors Mine,
an image of Me.
QUESTION:
Is it caught in space and time
this mind of mine?
It is not three dimensional
so it occupies no space
if there is no space, there is no time
I see
The symbols it vibrates ….
I am like Thee!
Who gave me these words
this fallacy untrue
me, myself, and I
that serve to deny
its You, You, You!
REPLY:
you are free
do what you like
with the universe
if need be
but do you think you’ll ever
get rid of Me?
I
who am not free
for if I fail
where would the universe be
A thin veil has been lifted
but not by Me
Tis yours alone
this discovery
QUESTION:
You say I’m free
but I
need You
sometimes needs hurt
a mind that exists
not in time nor space
or vice verse
what then is touched
by such an ache
that no surgeon’s hand
can replace?
What then longs for this Something Unknown
What Sweetness was tasted and by whom
long ago
What Candy unwrapped, that I reach out to grasp
and find is not there?
Oh mind be clear
and still,
like the lake in winter
Freeze up
the symbols of me
that I might step apon them
and reach out to Thee
I conclude this Existent Other
is beyond my mentations
beyond my imaginations
and beyond
beyond the now
yet here
Oh time, did you lift your veil?
Awareness, did you blink
leave the gravitational pull
of this little girl’s mentations
dilate your camera’s eye, slow down time
and catch a glimpse of her Eternal Skirt?
REPLY:
Ah, to Love and Quietude, to Her, you drift away
The Sabbath Bride comes on any given day.
And just when, I, Sophos, have come out to play
“A dillar, a dollar
A 10 o’clock scholar
What makes you come so soon?”
“You used to come
At 10 o’clock
But now you come at noon.”

Dear reader,
My two poems so far posted should be single spaced for aesthetic quality, comprehension, and readability. When I figure out how to do that (Duh!) I will.
yours,
S.A.Adams

You speak well of quantum wisdom, my dear.
I could almost read this as a tribute.
Symbols are meant to resemble the real thing.
We are inside looking out, whilst they are outside
of space and time awaiting the true perceptions
that we alone can receive, and then finally understand.
The Eternal Skirt made me laugh.
I wonder what’s underneath it.
There’s something funny going on
behind and below the veil
that will never be lifted for me.
Up yours, too.
UT

Well then, don’t blame me.
I’m not the one who brought it up.

Sorry. I didn’t mean to delete my whole comment, just a few words. You rile me with your playfulness of words….(and make me laugh.)

“This mind mirrors mine, an image of me”,
And the apple dont fall far from the tree.
