The Deepest Sense – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?” Thomas Merton

The Deepest Sense

The palpable stillness is warm and virginal,
this is the very centre I have long searched,
a landscape that describes my very being,
penetrates my deepest sense of self-yearning.

This is the very centre I have long searched,
a journey into my mysterious unknown
penetrates my deepest sense of self-yearning,
a merging of the outer as mirrored inwardly.

A journey into my mysterious unknown,
the vocational peregrinations of nothingness,
a merging of the outer as mirrored inwardly
where the world takes on new meaning.

The vocational peregrinations of nothingness,
a landscape that describes my very being,
where the world takes on new meaning,
the palpable stillness is warm and virginal.
