the violin within 8/22/17

inquiry can seem so innocent,
so pure as an endeavor,
a distant calling without repose.
who is there from within
who spies on the very nature of being?
there is the agreed upon content
as a fluid currency
of apparent intimate exchange.
if mind-body-spirit were a violin
and one were asked to play
from something spontaneous
beyond their know,
where would one put one’s attention?
on the tension from fingers to bow to strings?
How is emotion conveyed
from beyond the pretense of mind?
Where is that secret relationship
whereby the savant of spirit intervenes?
where one wholly ego-steps aside
to transcends the self as medium?
an imposition that self-consciousness would
knowingly resist if discovered,
as the channeling is fragmented
if not totally disrupted.
such are the remains of the ever unspoken.
fingers to the bow to the strings
seems mentally concessionary
as if safety from the haunt of spirit unchecked.
this is so subtle as if alchemical,
even if it would appear as so humdrum.
there is a need for a recipe without ingredients
that transforms on the stove of the mind.
can the emotional child have wisdom
free from the concepts given to them as thinker?
how to channel a quality of bliss
and not be experientially seduced.
the mind-grab of relevance is a disturbance,
a sense of self-subjectivity
that is no help to one’s cause.
audience would only come to bind and restrain.
soft and humble as traits
worthy of efforts at presence
only give appearance to others
but do not set one free from within, to play on.
what if this as trust, self trust, had no glitches,
no recourse of self-dismissal,
no pause to reconsider,
no re-contextualizing to begin
to counter the denials from within,
no measuring of self as mentoring,
no apprehension towards embarrassment,
no authority figure self-imposing,
no social construct to be met,
no ideological icon to be socially approved,
no rash of impulsiveness, held without defense,
no energetic truth with proper spiritual introduction?
so say, if you were that violin,
fingers to bow to string,
where is the soul residence that is to play?
the sound of you may have un-claimable method,
to disrobe of knowledge, to play your being.
Inspiration would have you
by an incomprehensible means.
bleed it, weep it, sneeze it, wheeze it.
give it to the world in any inspirational please.
you cannot make it go away.
you will die with it, subtly on your face,
coming out from your eyes,
nesting resoundingly in your heart.
this vibrational intelligence does not demand.
what calls you is not that as separate from you.
cause-worthiness is not the essence of you.
what is truly emanative exists from within.
the underground river of you unifies us all.
oh please play,
from beyond our current conscious means . . .
