Michael Shepherd - ! ! The place beyond between

Not named as joy;
not named as happiness..

at the end of a thought
the eyes lifted; then,

only the senses;
only the senses’ action seen;

only the endless beauty
of the beautiful unnamed;

only the glory of the food
of the senses unattached;

where is the mind
in this perfect satisfaction?

who needs to name this blessing,
blithe? or to name it, bliss?

beyond a name;
yet known.
