What is to know?

what is to know
but this very moment in life

like a mere molecule of water
soon joined to the river of time

by surrendering to it
I drown willingly
in undercurrents of mystery
myself abandoned to wonder
through an instant of recognition

from somewhere else
I swirl blindly through the cosmos
re-joined, absentmindedly
with galactic eddys of light
which will forever reflect
upon eternal living water

so I'm brought home,
momentarily
to that primordial other
of which all...
are part
