Little Wills (Guest Post)

 Clutter of wills,
 attempting to imitate WILL,
 rest back in silence and listen
 (eyes, ears and heart)
 as WILL descends.
  
 WILL,
 offering ITSELF—
 offering,
 not demanding,
 shining forth in splendour
  
 no judgement
 of little wills—
 just, by its Presence,
 saying,
 “There is more.”
  
 Little wills relaxing,
 relaxing in the Presence of WILL,
 smiling,
 bowing ever so slightly—
 then sober
  
 sober
 at the thought of death
 yet knowing that they have met—
 seen, heard and felt—
 that which they have sought to imitate.
  
 Little wills
 standing sober
 at the gate of death,
 at the gate of mystery
 surrounded by the glance of LOVE.
